We ended Summer Scholars Camp with Jacarrie Kicks for Kids' annual Back-to-School Shoe and Book Bag Giveaway, equipping kids with everything they need to start the school year confidently. From free haircuts to fully stocked book bags and fresh shoes, this event helps ensure that our kids can focus on their education without worrying about being teased for what they don't have.

At Summer Scholars, we believe in inspiring the next generation through stories of hard work, dedication, and success. This year, guest speakers like Derek Rogers from the Brady Foundation, real estate expert Gary Cheney, and NBA player Jordan P. shared their journeys with our campers, offering valuable lessons on careers, perseverance, and the importance of giving back.
