How We Work.

KidsCamp Program

K-5th grade students learn about foundational leadership principles through a variety of interactive modes within a crafted summer camp experience. 

Junior Leaders Program

6-8th grade students partake in discussion and group activities around becoming a service leader, then apply their knowledge through facilitating small activities with PK students.

HS Service Learning Program

9th-12th grade students engage in a week of leadership and bonding programming, then facilitate a multi-week summer camp for children in their community, the ultimate service-learning program. 

Leadership Team

Young people and adults (16+) work with high school youth to support, mentor, train, and empower them to become the leaders we need in our society, while providing a higher level of support during summer camp.

How We Lead.

Since 2013, CoolineKids has championed the idea of youth inspiring youth. Today, a significant majority of our team comprises young individuals of diverse backgrounds. Our commitment goes beyond merely showcasing high school and college youth from the community in leadership positions for elementary students; it extends to empowering these young individuals to recognize and contribute to the positive influence they can exert on their community.

Distinguishing itself from other programs, CoolineKids uniquely entrusts high school and college youth with substantial responsibilities, assigning them the pivotal role of overseeing the entire summer program. In seamless collaboration with our ProStaff, these emerging leaders take charge of every aspect, exemplifying the essence of teamwork and responsibilty.







The Program
