Youth Hub Summer Day Camp
This camp started in the summer of 2021 to provide much-needed child care for working parents during the summer and after the hardships of the COVID-19 pandemic. The day camp is for children in grades TK-8, and operates five days a week from 8am-6pm for five weeks. The camp provides a safe space for kids during the summer with a full schedule of enrichment and educational activities daily. The camp also provides first-time jobs for youth 16 ages and over from the community, including youth involved in BFFY programs. In 2023, 30 youth were employed and 250 kids attended this camp.
