“Camp Discovery,” an English language summer day camp for 8-13 year-olds, implemented by AMIDEAST, kicked off on July 10 and will run for two weeks. The camp is increasing English language skills and capabilities among economically-disadvantaged youth by immersing them in a summer day camp experience, exposing them to art, science, and other academic, cultural, and linguistic enhancement activities. Through its activities, it also exposes participants and their community to American culture, society, and ideals so that they will be more inclined to consider information provided to them about the United States in a more informed context.
