NEW BEGINNINGS "ZOOM ZOOM” SUMMER CAMP
Funded through the Summer Youth Program Fund (SYPF) and other local collaborators, New Beginnings operates an academic and recreational summer camp that begins when the first school system ends its academic school year and the summer camp continues until all the children have returned to school for the new academic school year.
