Love City Strong is partnering with six organizations to assist with tuition and fees for students hoping to attend summer camp programs on St. John. The deadline to apply is Friday.

Parents or legal guardians operating within a limited budget can apply at the Love City Strong office on the first floor of the Marketplace. โ€œThis program aims to reinvest in the community by focusing on youth development and equal access to enrichment opportunities,โ€ according to a press release.

For more information, call 340-714-7744 or email kharid@lovecitystrongvi.org.

Camps which qualify for funding include programs offered by Sports, Parks and Recreation, Julius E. Sprauve School, St. John School of the Arts, Society 340 Little Ones, and Negus. The program at Gifft Hill School has already reached full capacity.

Space is still available to enroll in the St. John School of the Arts Summer Arts Intensives programs, including tumbling, photography, art, cheer, and dance.

The SJSA Summer Arts Intensives are designed to challenge students by pushing their creative boundaries, refining their technical skills, and encouraging artistic risk-taking. For further information, call the St. John School of the Arts at 340-779-4322.
