Our summer camp program represents phase 1 in our work to help children discover, develop, and achieve through their skills in arts and sports. We work with other local organizations, including the Boys and Girls Clubs of San Francisco, to introduce children from Low-income families to a camp environment full of sports, arts, and outdoor life education. Camp sessions last between 10-14 days and open our Camp Scholarship recipients eyes and hearts to a wide range of activities in a safe, professional, remote natural environment. Here they're free to discover.

We believe that individualized coaching and instruction provides the most impactful learning environment for children to develop their arts and athletics skills. In Phase 2 of our series, we select candidates who we believe will benefit the most from a 12-15 week one-on-one coaching scholarship. With the support of local professionals, we provide tuition, a coach, and the facility necessary for the scholarship reipients to exploring the depths of their ability and realize their potential as individuals.

Once our scholarship recipients have graduated from the one-on-one coaching program, we work with them through high-school to stay involved with their activity and broaden their understanding of it's scope and opportunities. Through our partners, we develop internships, apprenticeships, and other levels of commitment for our members to broaden their understanding of their art or sport and the application of their skills in a real world setting. This provides them with the opportunity to achieve real world goals through their own ability and commitment. This is also their time to mentor younger members of Good for Kids and to infuse their lessons learned into shaping Good for Kids programs for the future.
