G.R.E.A.T Summer Camp

The program also intends to target children before they are introduced to gangs and delinquent behavior. The summer component of the program will build on the school-based curriculum, by offering students an opportunity to enhance their social skills, by providing alternatives to gang involvement and by adding structure to their daily schedule during the summer months. Registration for G.R.E.A.T. is no longer available. To learn more about the program, please contact Lance Cox at 414-7438.
