Seven weeks, seven continents—a world of learning and opportunity awaits.
June 9 - July 25

This year we are giving our youth a “Passport to Anywhere.”

Campers will literally and figuratively travel outside the confines of the city’s most at-risk, low-income neighborhood and experience a world full of history, culture, adventure and possibility.  Each week of Summer Camp, participants will explore a different corner of the world—mixing academic enrichment, reading, physical fitness, field trips and community service opportunities.  Summer Camp at Martha O’Bryan Center can change a young person’s view of his or her talents, potential and the world around them.

A premier highlight of Summer Camp 2008 is a partnership between Martha O’Bryan Center and Junior Achievement to provide our youth with real-world business and leadership experience.  Elementary students will engage in the “Dollars and $ense” program, middle school will participate in “It’s My Business,” while high school students will hone their entrepreneurial skills in the “Company Program.”

Programming for Summer Camp 2008 lasts 7 weeks from June 9 to July 25 and is open for 120 school-aged youth.  The Center’s cost per child to attend camp free of charge is $750—what a small investment for an experience that will realize tremendous gains for their future.  I ask you to invest in our youth this summer and give them a Camp experience they’ll never forget.

P.S. - With your support, our youth increase self-esteem, set goals for their future, develop leadership skills, stay on track for the upcoming school year, and have a rewarding summer experience.  Thank You!


Each week campers travel to a new continent, explore different countries, learn new cultures, and conclude the week engaging in an exciting new activity that builds on what they learned.
