6/5/2023 Clean Up at Camp LibertyPrep football players, parents, and coaches traveled over to Liberty State Park's Camp Liberty to help setup for this summer's round of camps. This community service included cleaning up camp grounds, building benches and picnic tables, and weeding tennis courts. A description from camp liberty's website: Often referred to as "the hidden gem” of Jersey City, EdArts sits on 5 acres of land and is a place of contrast: a suburban camp in an urban setting. A fifty-year old institution serving Jersey City students, youth, families, and educators, EdArts delivers over 300 school-based art education programs and enrolls over 400 campers through our “Camp Liberty” summer program. EdArts engages young people with arts-based programs that connect creativity with critical thinking in order to stimulate personal growth and academic achievement by making their learning experience more meaningful. The arts provide powerful tools for children to achieve academic success, increase self-esteem, and are at the center of all EdArts programs. We believe all young people should have the opportunity to think, create, reflect, and be heard within a community of engaged learners. |
