BoostCamp Summer 2022
Each year, Access AfterSchool (Access) operates BoostCamp: a full-day, summer day program for youth in grades 1 - 5. The program includes activities designed to promote literacy, science skills, math skills, physical fitness, and creativity. BoostCamp is one of the only summer camps in the area, and serves as a vital resource for local families.
The overarching goals of BoostCamp are to ensure participants:
-
Are engaged in high-quality programming in a safe and healthy environment
-
Have the support they need to enter the upcoming school year prepared for success
-
Have opportunities to build positive relationships with fellow students, adult mentors and community leaders, such as hospital, police and fire protection personnel.
100% of participants’ parents reported that their child looked forward to going to BoostCamp and 100% of parents said they were satisfied or very satisfied with the program. One parent said, “What an amazing program! We are so blessed to have this opportunity in the valley for our children.”
