Summer Youth Program
The Summer Youth Program (SYP) is a no-cost, in-person program designed to strengthen the Homewood community with quality summer programming to enhance academic performance and life skills in a safe environment for Homewood children.
Serving youth ages 5 to 12 years old, our summer camp program provides enrichment activities, mentorship and character building, and academic support with a focus on S.T.E.M. and reading.
Registration is required. Email Amanda Taylor to sign up: [email protected]
Our summer program helps youth retain knowledge, build life skills, and have fun in a safe environment during the summer.

It is hoped that by participating in SYP at the Bethany Center, Homewood’s children will have a greater sense of safety and security in their community.
