About Camp City Year:
Each spring, City Year corps members organize and lead Camp City Year, a dynamic day camp that engages children in service learning, educational games and other fun activities. Offered during spring vacation, the camp provides a valuable outlet for many working parents and is geared towards creating a safe, structured and positive learning environment for children while they are on break from school.
