From our partners at Vacamas Programs for Youth:
"92 students from Vacamas Programs for Youth’s New Jersey After 3 Programs – including Sussex Avenue, 18th Avenue and Quitman Community - came to Camp Vacamas for an exciting weekend experience. In this first camp trip for Vacamas’ NGVZ students, activities included an egg drop, Family Feud, hikes and team building games."
High quality afterschool programs benefit students in myriad ways. Check out this article about the impact NJ After 3 programs like these have on the youth of the state:
