This summer day-camp serves 3rd - 8th graders in three separate two week sessions. Camps are divided into elementary and middle sessions that run from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Monday through Friday with lunch and snacks provided. This camp is free of charge to all participants. Campers represent the local community as well as numerous ethnic groups. All campers are exposed to a variety of community businesses, organizations, and recreational opportunities. They also spend time in structured activities, ranging from team-building events, physical activities, video production, and nutritional instruction. The six pillars of Character Counts! serve as the foundation for all values education within the C.A.R.E. program.
