Camp St. Vincent

Camp St. Vincent is a full day summer camp program whose purpose is to reduce the negative consequences associated with homelessness for children living in shelters and transitional housing in the Baltimore region. Camp St. Vincent’s program is specifically designed to address the impact of homelessness on academic, social, and emotional development with a structured reading and math curriculum, psycho-social groups, and cultural enrichment activities. Within the safety and support of a therapeutic environment, children develop positive trusting relationships with adults that assist them in maintaining grade-appropriate academic performance, developing social competence and problem solving skills, strengthening autonomy, and gaining a sense of purpose.
