As we celebrate 50 years of service, we’re committed to making this summer extraordinary for every Aslan child.
Starting in July, our summer programs are designed to keep our students growing intellectually, emotionally, and physically. Studies show that marginalized children often fall behind academically during summer break, while their more affluent peers continue to thrive through enriching activities. But Camp Aslan changes that.
Our kids don’t have access to travel sports or costly summer camps, but with Aslan, they dive into interactive learning experiences that open up new worlds and expand their imaginations.
We take them on museum adventures where they step into astronaut suits, explore ancient Egypt, and climb aboard real helicopters. They look up at the stars inside an inflatable universe and begin to grasp how big the world, and their potential really is.
We challenge them to reach new heights, both literally and figuratively, with rock wall climbing and in-line skating. Even when it’s tough, our kids keep going. They fall, get back up, and master new skills they never thought they would try.
We also teach them the importance of healthy living with our hands-on juicing classes, where fruits and veggies become fun and delicious.
And it doesn’t stop there: chess, beach trips, science experiments, language lessons, bounce houses, face painting, and so much more fill days with joy and learning.
Each moment at Camp Aslan is an opportunity for our children to escape the limitations imposed by poverty and adversity and step into a magical space, much like Narnia, where they begin to believe in themselves.
Because Aslan believes in them.
For 50 years, we’ve walked alongside young people others might overlook—never giving up, no matter the odds. We build relationships that last, because that’s the heart of everything we do. And this summer, we’re celebrating that legacy by continuing to do what we do best: helping children discover who they are and who they can become.
Thank you for being part of the journey. Together, we’re changing the world—one child at a time.
