“Beyond Camp is a federally funded program created to support students who are experiencing homelessness by giving them experiences and opportunities they might not otherwise have,” said Dr. Norcha Lacy, Supervisor of the McKinney-Vento Program for Caddo Parish Schools.
“When we asked them what their favorite part was, they all said the field trips, because they went on one every day. They were able to experience things they wouldn’t normally be able to experience in their normal lives, so we provide those experiences and opportunities for them during our camp,” Dr. Lacy shared.
From hands-on learning to daily adventures, the camp allows children to learn, grow, and enjoy being kids during summer.
Dr. Lacy encouraged others to form a strong team and reach out to community partners when bringing similar programs to their communities.
