Our Mission
Provide a safe, fun, supportive environment in which scholars explore new, challenging, and educational experiences, learn from positive role models, and build skills for life year after year.
What We Do
Our Vision
Create a rich, multi-faceted, continually evolving program where scholars learn about themselves, develop vital skills, and realize their intellectual potential and leadership abilities. Academic summer camps are one of many Out-of-School activities effective for building youth-friendly communities.
Our Values
Positivity | Safety | Discovery | Community | Fun
Statement of Inclusion
Summer Scholars believe in the dignity and the intrinsic worth of every human being. We welcome, affirm, and support young people of all abilities, experiences, races, ethnicities, socio-economic backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, religion and non-religion, citizenship and immigration status, and any other category people use to define themselves or others.
We strive to become an increasingly inclusive and welcoming environment for our community, strongly affirming the value of inclusivity in all areas of camp life and culture.
Summer Scholars encourages meaningful participation, and when we stumble, because sometimes we are not sensitive, we are committed to learn, invest, and reflect more deeply into the values we strive to uphold.
