Freetown Village 2020 Summer Camp

Program description

Since 1990, our academic enrichment summer camp has impacted the lives of over 5,000 children.

Each week children ages 5 – 14 participate in a series of standards-based cultural, social, and community awareness activities. From practical, hands-on history projects, team building and language arts, and field trips, children develop a greater sense of community and personal responsibility.
