After School & Summer Camp Enrichment Programs

Mary Mitchell Family and Youth Center's summer camp has over 60 children ranging from five to twelve years old. The program runs Monday through Friday from 2:00 to 6:00 pm during the school year and full days during the summer. Children are picked up from school, they have a healthy, home-made meal, they get tutoring and/or homework help and they participate in fitness, arts and/or community improvement activities. There are many group projects and special events, like our multi-cultural sharing day, holiday parties, and over the summer at least two field trips per week.
Outcomes for the children
  • Develop skills in studio art, arts and crafts, sports, piano playing, leadership, teamwork and community improvement.
  • Learn about the importance of eating healthy and regular exercise. They get a healthy meal every day and participate in fitness activities at least twice per week.
  • Learn civic responsibility through community improvement projects.
  • Eligible elementary school children and youth in the Social Justice Club have one-on-one tutoring at least three days per week. Every child is given general help to complete their homework each day.
  • Learn teamwork, community building and life skills through group activities and workshops.
