As a recognized Children's Defense Fund affiliate, UPO provides a six-week, full-day, summer camp that offers an enrichment opportunity helping 50 disadvantaged children fall in love with reading, increase their self-esteem, and generate more positive attitudes towards learning.

Children are taught using a model curriculum that supports children and families
around five central areas:

• high quality academic enrichment
• parent and family involvement
• civic engagement and social action
• intergenerational development
  and nutrition
• health and mental health (CDF 2011).


There are no 2012 program vacancies available. Contact DeAngelo Rorie at (202) 610-0466 ext.127 for further information regarding our summer enrichment program.
