Six Weeks of Summertime Fun and Learning: Check!

Thank you for making another amazing Shoestring Summer Camp possible for 179 K-8th grade campers, friends! For six weeks this summer, we read books, wrote stories, acted out skits, played tennis, soccer, basketball and kickball, went swimming, learned archery, rode horses, fished, created all kinds of artwork, practiced gardening, learned Spanish and French, played instruments, sang songs, learned to play chess and more. Each of these fun, meaningful experiences helped the central Jackson kids we serve beat the odds stacked against them, that say that lower-income students are less likely to show up to school ready to succeed in the fall.
