  • Camp Runs from Monday to Friday 9AM-5PM during weeks that it runs. Fridays from 4-5pm is Community Day (Camper families are invited to participate in a celebration and gathering)

    We follow a focused and structured arts and cultural programing, and a daily schedule and flow that is instruction and participation-based. Kids participate in different activities throughout the day, bring their own nutritious lunch and snacks and reusable bottles for water, and have time to play and rest. At the end of each camp week, we have a showcase and community potluck. Kids dress in clothes and bring food/snacks representing their own unique African heritages.

  • We operate on a community mutual financial pooling system aka sliding scale. We have spots in different payment tiers, and we hope that with the support of those who have, we can make it possible to cover our costs of operations, and have a dynamic camp experience for all involved. During registration you select the rate that you’re able to pay.

    $0- $2000 per 2-Week Session (sliding scale)

  • In order to maintain a balance of camper dynamics and know how to best serve our campers our registration happens in two parts:

    •    Camper interest form

    •    Registration Completion

    If you are interested in enrolling a child/children in camp, please first complete the Camper interest form, and give us a bit of info. If we have a spot for your child/children, you will receive a link to complete your registration.


  • Our team includes vetted and able adults who are guided by our community guidelines and principles. Registration intake info includes inquiry about campers dietary, health, and behavioral needs so that we understand how to support each child best. Hand washing is scheduled throughout the day between activities. Surfaces and equipment are cleaned daily and after each use. If a child is experiencing communicable disease symptoms (fever, cough, shortness of breath, etc.), we ask that they stay home to protect others.

  • Camp Drop-Off & Pick Up is typically at a home community space. Campers also travel to the parks, playground, and other local venues for daily field trips and activities from camp homes.

  • During camp, campers belong to 2 different groups: the Ogbo (Age groups), and their Ezinulo/Tribe (Culture & Language learning group). These groups support their various involvement in camp activities, and provide opportunities for campers to engage and connect with each other dynamically across developmental stage interests, and access needs.
