Kids enjoy overnight camp experiences while exploring the campgrounds with their mentors. Camp KIF is offered as one-and-a-half, two, or three-day programs at beautiful campgrounds in the mountains of northern Arizona and Phoenix. The kids discover nature — and themselves. Camp immerses the youth in nature while taking them out of stressful environments, allowing them to be confident, playful versions of themselves. The giving becomes full-circle as student alumni of the afterschool programs help other kids when they return to participate as Junior Mentors at our camps.
Workshops are held at locations around the city as well as out of town in the mountains. Workshops are typically one-day and the curriculum is customized for each program. Some are held regularly throughout the year, allowing students to return as often as they’d like. With some of the workshops being held on weekends, it opens up another opportunity for older grads to participate as Junior Mentors and help other youth.
It made me gain confidence in myself. It made me actually achieve more.
