For many kids, summer camp is the first time they will see the world outside of their neighborhood. Each year, we enable thousands of children from low-income families to enjoy fresh air, exercise and new friendships through our annual overnight summer camp programs. Camp activities include learning to swim, scouting, arts and crafts, music development and sports during their five day stay. Learn about Camp Ladore.
The Salvation Army Is Here to Help More Kids Learn More Things
After-school programs have been proven to foster social and academic development as programs provide safe and structured environments for kids during after-school hours, oftentimes filling the space between the end of the school day and when parents return from work.
We know that every parent wants the best for their child’s future. Sometimes, in a world filled with distractions and challenges, finding the right support system can make all the difference. From homework assistance and tutoring to encouraging higher grades and boosting motivation to team-building activities and cooperative learning experiences that help develop essential social skills, our after-school programs are designed to empower kids to unlock their potential and thrive.
Help us expand our youth services
With limited staffing and ever-growing need from our community, the Bethlehem Corps aims to offer after-school programming to kids in need. Your donation helps us expand our breadth of services and assist even more families.
