DREAM CAMP PROVIDES OUT-OF-SCHOOL TIME OPPORTUNITIES (AFTER SCHOOL, SUMMER AND/OR WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS) TO LOW-INCOME STUDENTS, OFFERING ACADEMIC, SOCIAL, AND EMOTIONAL ENRICHMENT PROGRAMMING, HEALTHY FOOD, AND FREE TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM OUR PROGRAMS. TO QUALIFY FOR DREAM CAMP PROGRAMS, FAMILIES MUST LIVE AT OR BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL AND QUALIFY FOR THE FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH PROGRAM. CHILDREN ARE REFERRED BY TEACHERS, SOCIAL WORKERS, AND GUIDANCE COUNSELORS. THE STAFF TO STUDENT RATIO IS LOW 1:4 SO THAT IMPACTFUL TUTORING AND MENTORING CAN BE PROVIDED. THERE IS A STRICT NO CELL PHONE POLICY TO MAXIMIZE PERSON-TO-PERSON RELATIONSHIP SKILL DEVELOPMENT ALONG WITH STUDENT TO STUDENT AND STAFF TO STUDENT BONDING.
