The Southwest Michigan Scholarship Program

Own-It Summer Camp

Own It is a day camp for boys & girls that allows self-exploration and growth. Among their peers, these young people are given opportunities to do good which helps them to feel good. Improving our world (cleaning the beach), its animals (walking dogs at the pound), and the people living in it (visiting Nursing Homes) allows each child to find self worth and self-respect. These young people will discover the greatness they possess and the greatness in one another. Here they find a purpose through community service and positive encouragement. We invite you to share in this wonderful experience!

Camp will be held at the First Assembly of God Church 3084 Niles Road St. Joseph, Michigan - June 2nd - June 6th, 2008 - 4 to 7pm each day.

Monday: First meeting with games such as name activities (skills learned in Dale Carnegie), music, a video on Integrity (from character counts), snacks, and more!
Tuesday: Cleaning the beach, beach yoga, frisbee & football, snacks, and more
Wednesday: Visiting the Pound, nature hike, wiffle ball, snacks, and more
Thursday: Visiting the Nursing Home, dance choreography, board games, kickball, snacks, and more
Friday: Battle of the bands, purity ball, snacks, and more

There will also be a keynote speaker at some point - one for boys and one for girls. (Activities subject to change.)
