Company description

Camp Phoenix is summer school, reimagined. We bring children from low-income backgrounds to our 3-week, overnight summer program to engage in outdoor and social-emotional learning: sleeping under the stars, cooking breakfast as a team, picking berries from local farms, and peering into tide pools at the nearby beaches. We empower youth to overcome the summer opportunity gap by blending the essence of sleep-away camp, with the rigors of academics. Founded in 2012, this powerful combination of learning and overnight camp uniquely positions our campers to make growth in academics, while also growing their identities as individuals and young leaders.
