Project Rise Summer Camp is Here!

It’s time for our Project Rise summer camp! 

This camp experience is focused on creating joy-filled experiences, engaging in social, mental, and academic support and exposing children to a wide variety of creative and fun experiences.

This summer’s Project Rise camp will include classes and community partnerships that provide an affirming, fun, and supportive environment for the children in our program. Among Operation Shoestring’s summer partners are St. Andrew’s Episcopal School, the Junior League of Jackson, the Pearl River Keepers, and many businesses in the Jackson metropolitan area such as Urban Foxes and Fleet Feet. Camp programming will consist of academic enrichment, STEM activities, outdoor sports, swim classes, mentoring programs, and medical/dental screenings for campers. 

Our summer camp is a safe place for kids to play, learn, be empowered and inspired. It’s also a lifeline for parents during the summer. When kids step through our doors, they are busy with activities like theater classes, tennis, and cooking lessons, and their parents can be without worry for their children’s safety during the workday. Through our commitment to equity, opportunity and compassion, Operation Shoestring empowers children and families to live healthy, hopeful, and self-determined lives with support like our summer programming.
