Operation "Fill Summer Learning Camp!"

Jericho's Summer Learning Camp enriches the lives of our inner-city students in a few important ways:

• Combats “summer slide”, which affects students across the socioeconomic spectrum, but impacts kids who already struggle even harder. To a student that is already behind grade level, summer slide could lead to giving up and dropping out.
• Provides a safe & nurturing environment for kids to spend their summers, instead of home alone or out on the streets, while their parents work to put food on the table.
• Expands their horizons through field trips to fun and educational places.
• Equips them for success in school and teaches them biblical principles for every area of their lives

Each summer, 75 kindergarten through 5th graders participate in a seven-week, full-day camp that supports a child’s success, with the goal of improving the high school graduation rate in Danbury CT.

Jericho provides the program to families at a greatly reduced tuition that doesn’t fully cover operating costs. We rely on donor funding to close that gap.

Thank you in advance for your support.
