About the Camp

Every kid has something to offer the world.

Uplift is a structured, values-based 5-week summer program for youth ages 9–15. We blend academic enrichment, STEM, creative arts, media, entrepreneurship, leadership, outdoor play, and life skills so campers grow in confidence and discover what they're great at.

By the final Friday, every camper leaves with a personal portfolio — proof of what they made, learned, and accomplished.
