UpSpring is hosting our 27th annual summer camp this year!
UpSpring Summer 360° is an educational and enrichment-based program for local children experiencing homelessness. Each morning our students (ages 5 to 14) focus on literacy and math lessons delivered by licensed teachers. In the afternoon our students engage in enrichment, fitness, and other activities. One day a week is generally reserved for an off-site field trip. UpSpring provides transportation and meals to the students each day, completely free of charge.
We can’t wait for our upcoming year of education and enrichment. Check our Facebook and Instagram pages for updates!
The Program's objectives are:
To improve students’ literacy and math skills
To boost students’ social, emotional, and physical health
To expand enrichment opportunities and important childhood events
UpSpring Summer 360° has proven results for our region’s most at-risk students. For example, our pre & post-testing shows that 70% of our students retained or increased their literacy and/or math skills. Furthermore, our validated metrics revealed significant increases in several well-being measures including health, self-confidence, stability, belonging, hope, and comfort. Students who are housed have more hope as their basic needs are met. When a young person is focused more on survival than aspiration, then they are far more likely to give up. UpSpring provides hope for a better future.
