2024 Grantee: Friends of the Stanton Center Youth Program

In 2024, the Grants Committee awarded a grant to the Friends of Stanton Center Youth Progams (FSCYP).  The grant was used to send 54 children from the Clay Street community and the surrounding areas to an all-day summer camp at the Stanton Center from June 24 – Aug 16, 2024. The children, ages 4 – 13, were able to attend the 8 week summer camp run by the Stanton Center staff because the $195 registration fee was paid by this grant. Each week, the children swam at the Truxton Pool, participated in field trips, played basketball in the gym, made beautiful arts and crafts, played board games, and spent time outside. The children also had an afternoon of STEM each week with an incredible STEM teacher who taught basic robotics and coding through educational games and fun activities. Finally, the kids had two hours each week of reading and math tutoring to keep their brains engaged over the summer. This educational programming was led by several St Anne’s volunteers.
