Camp
St. Vincent Child and Youth services in Baltimore
Camp St. Vincent is a full day summer camp that serves homeless children, ages 5 to 12 years old, from Batlimore City and County, Maryland. Camp will operate June 28, 2010 through August 20, 2010 with a closure on July 5, 2010. There are 4 sessions that run on a two week cycle. Camp operating hours are from 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. and is located on grounds of Patterson Park in Baltimore City.
This year, Camp St. Vincent's purpose is to reduce the negative consequences associated with homelessness for children living in shelters and transitional housing in the Baltimore region. Camp St. Vincent's program is specifically designed to address development with a structured reading and math curriculum, psycho-social groups and cultural enrichment activities. Children develop positive trusting relationships with adults that assist them in maintaining grade-appropriate academic performance, developing social competence and problem solving skills, strengthening autonomy, and gaining a sense of purpose.
Camp St. Vincent offers a structured outdoor recreation program that includes swimming, arts and crafts, singing, games, sports, and other enrichment activities and field trips on a weekly basis.
