We ENCOURAGE our kids through an annual summer camp — Camp AmeriKids.
We LEAD by helping camp graduates build life skills and become community role models.
We MENTOR with ongoing one-on-one support systems to nurture personal growth.
CAMP AMERIKIDS
Camp AmeriKids is a one-week summer camp for children impacted by HIV/AIDS, sickle cell disease, and other chronic illnesses. Youth try new activities, improve social skills, and gain a positive view of self and life.

This critical program emphasizes self-esteem, exposure to new opportunities, and leadership skills. Participants (LITs) attend weekend retreats and cultural day trips, providing them the opportunity to grow within a supportive environment.
Our programs are offered free of charge to our community!
A special ‘thank you’ to medical professionals and essential workers around the globe, putting your lives on the line to keep us safe.
We are so proud that many of our Camp AmeriKids volunteers are on the frontlines, working tirelessly not only for the wellbeing of our campers, but for everyone in need.
“The ELM Project is not just about camp for one week. It gives you the morals to lead yourself and others to do something greater in life.”
