Support 7 Weeks of Full-Day Summer at CAMP IMANI

CAMP IMANI 2018 was a smashing success! Thanks for your involvement and support. If you were unable to join us this year, there's always next summer! 

This year 135 Brooklyn children grades K-5 from low-income backgrounds joined us for a summer filled with engaging activities including trips, music classes, archery, arts and crafts, literacy and much more. We accomodated as many children as we could, but unfortunately there was still a wait-list for those unable to participate. Maybe with your help we can provide the Camp for 200 children next year!

CAMP IMANI's main goal is to provide services which assist our youth with their overall development and provide Summer activities that every child should have an opportunity to engage in. Summertime for children should be about fun, but for many  it is not. Parents have to work and many face financial difficulties disallowing children from frequently participating in stimulating summer activities. As we know, lack of activity and engagement during summer (especially) leads to a high level of youth deliquency. CAMP IMANI was the perfect distraction and offered our children not only fun, but played a major part in their improved behavior as well.

Parent feedback of the CAMP overwhelmingly supported the work we did with the children, and many parents called or visited our office at program end to express their gratitude. For many, without our program they would have to find other childcare in order to maintain their employment, which is a financial burden; or perhaps take off of work. CAMP IMANI therefore provided our community  services benefiting not only the children, but parents and families as well, even if indirectly. We are very proud of that and you should be too!

It's never to late to join us in these efforts! 

Warmest Wishes,
