NEW BEGINNINGS "ZOOM ZOOM” SUMMER CAMP

Funded through the Summer Youth Program Fund (SYPF) and other local collaborators, New Beginnings operates an academic and recreational summer camp that begins when the first school system ends its academic school year and the summer camp continues until all the children have returned to school for the new academic school year. Our children participate in a wealth of engaging and fun-filled activities, ranging from academics to physical fitness to STEM and fieldtrips. These activities include:
