Teens Building for Tomorrow Camp

Summer 2024: Leadership, Arts, Citizenship, & Entrepreneurship 

2024 camp is now full!

In this camp, students in rising grades 6-12 gain skills, empowerment, and citizenship through experiences such as STEM activities, yoga, art lessons in various media, volunteerism, and field trips throughout the community. Community partners provide presentations and opportunities to learn about careers, continuing/higher education paths, and life interests. The camp is facilitated by accomplished local artists Mayra Zamora and Monica Marie Garcia and is limited to 15 participants.
