The youth summer programs allow kids to step out of their comfort zones, meet new people, and foster friendships that often last a lifetime. By interacting with a diverse group of peers, kids learn essential skills like communication and cooperation. We believe all children will get the opportunity to try new things, make new friends, and learn about themselves. All of these are crucial to developing self-esteem and confidence. Allowing our youth the opportunity to fellowship and build positive, healthy relationships with others is also a good thing to do.
