Transitioning to Camp Hope

This past year, we have enrolled students from Jackson Public Schools in our afternoon Education program to assist with tutoring. We have seen students achieve and excel in their work and are excited to help them end the school year well. As their work comes to a close at the end of May, we are transitioning to our summer program, Camp Hope. The kids that will be coming will not only receive help with their summer reading, but will also have the opportunity to go on field trips, play games, learn to swim, and have a lunch meal provided that they would have received at school.

Mariah Pitre, the Director of Education, has helped facilitate this past year of tutoring and partnering with volunteers for Camp Hope. She has helped our students as their school year comes to a close and move into summer reading and fun activities. With our summer counselors coming in to start orientation and setting up for Camp Hope, we are looking forward to a summer with 56 children who will spend their weeks making friends and learning. Most of our campers were in our afternoon Education program and will continue in the fall semester. We also have a multitude of volunteers coming to lead out in making summer 2021 the best it can possibly be for the kids enrolled.
