PROGRAMS

Here are some of the children and youth programs, past and present, that Friends of Community Schools has run or sponsored since its inception:

Camp G.T.A.

Affordable summer camp experience that gives inner-city children a fulfilling way to spend their summer while learning, growing, developing, staying active, and having lots of fun. A March Break camp was also offered in years when funding was sufficient.

Camp All Connected

Summer camp that was a precursor to Camp G.T.A., integrating literacy, numeracy, international languages, and recreation.

(Please be advised that Friends of Community Schools was not associated with, and did not endorse or support, any program that may have existed under the name “Camp All Connected” after 2010.)
