Our Annual Summer Camp Program
Our 2-week camp from the campus of Long Beach State is where we start the multi-year, year-round “process” designed to increase the number of middle school boys, especially those of color, who attain proficiency in the core content areas; take Algebra as 8th graders; achieve proficient/advanced status in reading and math by the end of 8th grade; are high school ready entering 9th grade; and college ready entering 12th grade. Following our summer camp, we continue our engagement with our boys through school year programming that includes academic coaching, mentoring, exposure to real world experiences and opportunities for advocacy and service.
