Summer Day Camps

From June through August, The Salvation Army provides school-age children a safe and nurturing environment where they can have fun and learn about the world around them. Through quality educational activities, exciting field trips, and personal enrichment programs, children are encouraged to grow and expand their minds. Most Summer Day Camp programs are open from early morning to late afternoon and children are fed breakfast, lunch, and a snack. Learn More >

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 programs are designed to empower kids to unlock their potential and thrive.
