SUMMER CAMP

Summer Camp is essentially the all-day version of our After School Program, one of our most important and beneficial programs for kids. We fill their summer with enriching experiences that have profound impact on their lives and wellbeing, and reduce the summer learning gap.

ABOUT THE CAMP

The Jackie Joyner-Kersee Foundation Summer Camp is a fun interactive daily program for youth ages 4-15. Campers will participate in a variety of interactive activities including Jackie Joyner-Kersee’s Winning in Life®, STEAM-Ag, Arts & Crafts, Fitness & Recreation, Nutrition, Agriculture, Spanish, and much more within a positive nurturing environment! In addition, we also incorporate 3 mini camps. Seed-to-table, USDA corn grant, and Boeing, where our campers enjoy educational activities, classes, cooking lessons, and field trips outside of the original JJK Camp. Additionally, all campers enjoy field trips every Friday to special places that complement each week’s theme and activities.

The 8-week Summer Camp began on June 12th and will run from 7:30 am – 6pm with breakfast, lunch, and a snack provided each day. The Jackie Joyner-Kersee Foundation Summer Camp is not your typical summer camp. Youth who attend the JJK Foundation Summer Camp will have fun, be exposed to new and exciting opportunities, and will be empowered to win in life!
