Summer Programs
Summer Urban Program (SUP)
SUP camps are not just camps in the community but are community camps. This means that everything we do is based on and embedded within our tight-knit communities.
The camp day, which typically runs from 8:30 am – 4:30 pm, is divided into two main parts - mornings are spent engaged in classroom learning while afternoons are spent on educational and fun field trips in and around Boston. Camp staff includes 2 or more directors, college-age senior counselors, and high school-age junior counselors who come from the communities served by the camps.
The Summer Urban Program consists of 9 camps in Boston and 3 in Cambridge:
- Boston Refugee Youth Enrichment (BRYE)
- Cambridge Youth Enrichment Program (CYEP)
- Chinatown Adventure (CHAD)
- Franklin I-O Summer Program
- Keylatch Summer Program
- Mission Hill Summer Program (MHSP)
