Five spots left for
Camp Cultural Leadership!   
  

Spots are filling up for Camp Cultural Leadership, a two-week summer camp for rising 7th, 8th, and 9th graders will be held at Brittany Woods Middle School in the University City School District. The camp introduces and reinforces social justice concepts and ties them to leadership skills, similar to our award-winning high-school program. Students will:

  • increase cultural awareness through hands-on activities;
  • take an overnight trip to Memphis to meet with people and see places important to civil rights, social justice and democracy;
  • develop leadership skills.
Camp will run July 7-July 18, Monday through Friday,

9:30 am to 2:30 pm. For an additional fee, before and after care will be available (8:30 am-5:00 pm). During camp, students will take a two day; one night trip.  

There is a $600 program fee to participate in Camp Cultural Leadership. This program fee will cover the costs for the two-week camp and the overnight trip. Limited financial aid is still available.

When our students see a problem, they grab an ally, or two or three,
roll up their sleeves, and get to work.
