Baking, crafting, dancing, and etiquette lessons were on the agenda for our Children's virtual camp this month along with guest appearances from Dr. Donna Corbett and Chef Carmen. 

The Children's Camp was full of over 40 kids and their families! Camp participants Selena and Faith said, "How did you come up with something so creative and unique? This was absolutely the BEST idea and it went over so well... I am curious to see what else StepUp has to offer me and my family." 

Our Real World virtual camp is scheduled for September 30th and will include spoken word, dance and fitness classes, personal grooming tips, make up tutorials and chances to win T-shirts or gift cards! 

Real World, StepUp's program for young adults ages 16-21, is following strategies to stay motivated and focused on goals during the pandemic. They are also exploring different topics weekly. In the past month, Sharlene Provilus of Write Speak Inspire led sessions about Spoken Word. The participants are excited to explore the culinary arts next, as Chef Carmen will teach the group how to prepare quick, nutritious meals. Cooking demonstrations will allow our college freshmen and young adults to get comfortable in the kitchen.
