Mindfulness gets all the bad things off my mind, and it is peaceful. Sometimes I think about how to breathe.

Daily Discoveries

Kids jump into the pool together

There are countless opportunities for students to participate in a huge range of additional activities, such as academic board games, going to the pool, free play, field trips, and organized sports & games

Enrichment

CAN's #1 goal in literacy is to help campers develop a love for reading. When young people see themselves & others expressed in story, they are more likely to be self-motivated to keep reading and practice writing to share their own stories. 

Literacy

Families share a meal at a table together

At every CAN location, students receive diverse, high-quality, nutritious food in our educational programs.

Interwoven throughout every program is a culture of role modeling mindfulness, resilience, and healthy interpersonal relationships. Campers are given the language and tools they need to navigate the social world and better name and manage their emotions.

Social-Emotional Development

CAN staff invite educators to join in the summer festivities, like CAN's Back-to-School BBQs, share with teachers all of the cool things CAN campers did over the summer, and prepares students for the school year by working to prevent summer learning loss and assisting families with getting the school supplies they need at the start of the school year.
