Eight high school students and 4 college freshman are traveling to Nicaragua this summer to run a music camp for the children of a poor village called San Jose de Cusmapa. We'll be working with about 150 children ages 7 - 18. In addition to teaching workshops in flute, piano, guitar, voice, theory, drums, bass, violin, and saxophone, we will also bring donated music supplies and workbooks to create a small "music library" at the village school.

This is a camp for youth ages 6-18 who have lost a loved one due to death. What better way to get through this journey then with someone else who has been there, done that? We have 3 1-week sessions, Mon-Fri from 9-3 and will have food, fun, activities with a purpose. Volunteers can help with practical things like arts and crafts, serving lunch or just plain old listening. Training required and provided free of charge.

I spent the last four summers organizing, directing and running Camp Rainbow for underprivileged youth. It is non-profit and entirely staffed by volunteers. Last year, I took a directing role, as well as counselor to a unit. Although it was my job to teach and mentor the campers, much of the time I felt that they were the ones teaching me. Most of them came from poor families and had seen more than their share of trouble in their lives. I taught them crafts and outdoor skills, and in turn they taught me courage, patience and wisdom. I was consistently challenged and consistently rewarded.

My name is Bradford Hall and I am a part-time Student Clerk at Sallye B. Mathis Elementary School in Jacksonville, Florida. The school is an inner-city school, where over 90 percent of the students are considered "economically disadvantaged."
As a result, the Principal (Gwen Crutchfield) and I sat down to have a conversation about how do we involve the community's children in enrichment programs that will enhance their educational skills and abilities.

Pineview Home School in Evart, Michigan is a school for court placed boys. Some of the boys that attend this school were abused, while others have committed some type of a felony. The boys live in homes together on the campus of the school and spend the majority of their time at the school. They are allowed to participate in athletics and compete against mostly small private schools from the area. They field a soccer team and a basketball team. One of the things that I enjoyed doing most growing up was attending camps in the summer.

I would like to start a monthly day camp type event where kids can sign up to come and cook real recipes that are healthy and taste good. I want it be something affordable for the kids in my community, where low-income families are buying cheap junk food instead of making healthy choices at home. My church has a commercial-style kitchen and many talented cooks that I hope will volunteer their time to help tweens and teens make healthier choices, and give them the skills to make those choices.

The camp is for the local boys who are interested in learning and playing basketball. I am a Basketball coach and have noticed that the kids no longer are outside playing on the courts. This I want to bring back to my small town, because I remember being a young student and my parents would have to drag me inside at night. The camp ideal is to allow the kids to play five on five basketball. They will also have contest. Each camper who places 1st, 2nd or 3rd will be awarded trophies. The kids also get camp tee-shirts as well as a big pizza party on the last day of camp.
