2022 Summer Programs Update!

We’re so excited about our upcoming 2022 Summer Programs! Our staff has been hard at work getting ready for what is shaping up to be our most full and wonderful summer of programs yet! There is great excitement amongst our staff, volunteers, donors, and community members for these renewed and expanded programs that we have coming up. We’ll give you updates on just a few of them below:

Summer Day Camp

This year, we’re seeking to have the largest Summer Day Camp in LifeBUILDERS history! With strong partnerships with local organizations, a team of wonderful volunteers, and a group of hard-working interns, we are staged to put on what will be an absolutely wonderful 2022 Summer Day Camp. One of the many exciting new aspects of our Summer Day Camp is an optional week-long outing to Camp Michawana! We’re partnering with our friends at Camp Michawana to provide scholarships for our campers who would like to take part in this exciting program to travel to the campgrounds and learn more about Jesus, while learning more about the great outdoors! This is a great opportunity for our youth to travel outside of Detroit and see more of God’s wonderful creation.

Summer Youth Employment

We will once again be hosting our Summer Youth Employment Program! Teens from our neighborhood will be able to participate in meaningful work going on in their community, all while learning the value of hard work and getting paid! We have incredible leaders who will be mentoring our teens as the summer goes on. These leaders will help to build up our teens not only in their ability to get a job and make money, but to build them up in their faith as well.

Teen Mentorship Program

For the very first time, we’ll be kicking off a year-long teen mentorship program! Starting this spring, we’ll be connecting weekly with 20 teens from our neighborhood in order to build them up mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, as they discover what it means to be young men and women made in the image of God. As we meet throughout the year, our vision is that these young men and women would be rooted in their faith, so that they are able to weather the storms of life that come their way. We are very excited to see all that God does through this program!

We are so excited about these upcoming programs, and there’s still more that we haven’t even mentioned yet! We’re looking to once again have our Flag Football Program, our June Mini Camp, Youth Retreats, and much more!

If you’d like more information or have any questions about any of these programs, you can email youthprogramming@lifebuildersdetroit.com to connect with our Youth Programming team for more details!

Our programs can fill up quickly, so if you’re interested in having your child attend, please reach out to us as soon as possible!

We’re excited about this Summer, and we hope to see you and your child at one of our many programs!

In Christ,

LifeBUILDERS Youth Programming
