Summer Experience
Hills to Climb breaks down barriers to the summer camp experience by offering comprehensive, immersive and high-quality experiences to Baltimore youth at no cost to families. Our organization works closely with partner organizations to design programming and duration of the experience to fit the needs of the target population.
The summer camp includes a full curriculum, guided by trained and skilled staff, accommodating up to 60 youth at a time. Programming includes a variety of outdoor adventure and team building activities to encourage strong relationships among the group as well as personal growth of individual campers.
Program Goals
Youth walk away with more confidence in themselves and willingness to try new things. Youth walk away with an experience that has influenced their outlook on life, eager to share that inspiration with others.
1
As a group, youth are more connected, understanding, empathetic and supportive of each other.
2
Youth are more confident and comfortable in the outdoors, with a new-found relationship with and appreciation for nature, aspiring to continue seeking recreation and stewardship opportunities.
