UpSpring is hosting our 29th annual summer camp this year!

UpSpring Summer 360° is an educational and enrichment-based program for local children experiencing homelessness. Each morning our students (ages 5 to 14) focus on literacy and math lessons delivered by licensed teachers. In the afternoon our students engage in enrichment, fitness, and other activities. One day a week is generally reserved for an off-site field trip. UpSpring provides transportation and meals to the students each day, completely free of charge.

National Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Day was last month, and we made delicious desserts in UpSpring After School. Students learned how baking is a science, how to accurately measure, and did a little bit of math as we split the recipe in half!
