Camp Get Ahead
Home » Our Services » Youth Services » Camp Get Ahead
Since 2018, youths from ages 12 to 18 have spent a week at Camp Get Ahead, a community where they are under the supervision of our program staff and volunteers. This camp experience provides the opportunity for our youths to come together outside of school, build friendships, and learn independent living skills, showcase talents, work as a team, and nurture their leadership skills.
With every social experience, campers gain greater confidence from:


- Building and strengthening friendships
- Learning to self-advocate
- Engaging in physical activities
- Developing self-awareness and confidence
- Building appropriate social skills
- Interdependence and Independence
