On a Mission to
Change Summer
School partners
University partners
Our university partner facilities offer our campers the opportunity to experience a traditional summer camp program while living on a college campus in a safe and supportive environment.
How We Change Summer
All young people should have the chance to experience challenges, adventures, teamwork, and personal growth during the summer months. These activities are all essential parts of our overnight camp experience for students entering grades 4 through 9.
Building skills while having fun
By the end of summer, all campers demonstrate improvements in all four of our critical social-emotional domains—confidence, curiosity, independence, and responsibility—and most agree that program activities are fun and engaging.
Doing better in school
As compared to a control group of non-campers, we are proud to share that our campers have better academic averages and annual attendance rates than non-campers. This experience sets up young people to succeed.
Preparing for college & beyond
When compared to a control group of non-campers, our campers have higher SAT scores and better college matriculation averages than non-campers. Our campers are more likely to advance after high school.
Join our team
We could not change summer for thousands of young people each year without our dedicated camp teams. Change Summer camps are led by diverse, competent, and conscious teams that promote inclusivity and create a safe, fun environment for our campers.
