In 2018 we just returned from Break were met with hugs,"I missed yous, and why was break so long" greetings from our students. There were a group of 6 students, whom I call "Our Mini Founders" who talked me into figuring out how we can house a summer camp in the school building. Later in the week, I spoke with Admin, the camp was approved with no hassle, thus CAMP ATM 4 Youth was born. This past summer, we held 4 summer camp locations & served over 100 students, this school year, we provide afterschool services for 3 middle schools & 2 recreation centers.
