UpSpring Summer 360°
UpSpring Summer 360° is an academic and enrichment summer day camp that provides local children holistic programming to support math and literacy skills, critical thinking, nutrition, fitness, and social-emotional learning. Through trauma-informed care, the program team integrates a variety of experiences, educational lessons, and exploratory opportunities to ensure that students have a well-rounded summer and prevent the "summer slide.".
The summer program was UpSpring’s primary initiative when founded in 1998; and the program has continued to grow each year. Over 120 local children are served during the summer. All the students are currently experiencing homelessness or living in transition. A program goal is seeing improvements s in math and literacy skills, feelings of well-being, and increased enrichment opportunities. This camp empowers children to better their lives, therefore bettering our entire region.
