Summer of Service
YVCHR offers summer camps for youth (ages 11-18)! Each session includes icebreakers, team-builders and service-learning lessons. Youth spend their days being physically active, learning about the needs of their community, developing important career-readiness and life skills, and interacting with other service-minded individuals…all while making a positive impact!
Registration opens each year in April!
