Bronx and Beyond Day Camp at Refuge House =================== =================== ===================		This Day Camp is a combined cultural awareness and community service program designed to educate and instill leadership skills to 25 campers (ages 8-11) and 5 teenage counselors. The camp provides a safe and supportive avenue for learning and growing during the summer months. The program provides a full day alternative, at either a minimal or no-fee cost, to low income families searching for an alternative to seeing their children spend their summer months on unsafe streets, or locked in a apartment. Each week campers will spend three days participating in special pre-arranged tours of cultural and arts institutions, universities, businesses, historical neighborhoods, and performing arts events. The remaining two days is spent in their neighborhoods, organizing and leading arts-and-crafts, sports, games, and plays for children at PAL playstreets and partaking in other forms of community service.
