Welcome to AF Camp!

At AF Camp, we believe that just like a high-quality education, an amazing summer camp experience should be available to all children. AF Camp is a sleepaway summer camp that offers campers entering grades 4–9 the opportunity to expand their horizons through athletics, the arts, STEM, outdoor adventure, swimming, social-emotional learning, and other fun activities. AF Camp gives campers the chance to challenge themselves in a safe space and make new, long-lasting friendships.

 
 

At AF Camp, we provide an opportunity for Achievement First elementary- and middle-school-aged campers to build a tight-knit community in a safe setting that allows for exploration, learning, and fun. Our ultimate goal is to provide an enjoyable, exciting summer experience that motivates our campers to approach the future with confidence, curiosity, independence, and responsibility, which are essential to college and life success.

Achievement First’s mission is to deliver on the promise of equal educational opportunity for all of America’s children, and they believe that an effective education encompasses far more than just classroom learning. AF Camp is an equitable opportunity for Achievement First’s students to experience challenges, adventures, teamwork, and personal growth during the summer months and is an essential part of the Achievement First student experience.

AF Camp is one of several camps within the Change Summer family. Change Summer partners with high-functioning schools to create high-quality, customized summer opportunities for their students.

Enriching summer experiences can profoundly influence young adults’ development across many domains. Change Summer recognizes that unequal access to high-quality summer programming is a solvable problem. Change Summer provides students from under-resourced communities with a summer experience that increases their confidence, curiosity, independence, and responsibility—all critical skills for a successful future.
