HBCUs are vital, critical, and emerging in our communities. Inspiring our young adults to study at the colleges and universities that were founded by them for them is what keeps history alive. But what about our youth? The youth is what fuels the young adults, and now there is a camp for them in the summer called Camp HBCYouth.
Camp HBCYouth is the flagship summer program of the HBCYouth Foundation, Inc., designed to reflect the spirit, values, and excellence of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). They provide immersive, educational day camp experiences that blend academic enrichment, wellness, arts, and leadership development in safe, inclusive environments. Their programming is grounded in cultural pride, mentorship, and community engagement, offering families not just a camp but a trusted support system. They are committed to expanding access to meaningful opportunities for youth while investing in the communities and college campuses we serve.
40,000 plus meals will be served, 600 plus elementary school students will be able to be a part of this camp, and 200 hours of summer learning per child. Some of the illustrious HBCUs that are offering this opportunity are Tennessee State University, Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, Morgan State University, and Spelman College.
