Camp Phoenix makes math, reading, and literacy fun. When math work is done, time to play learning board and card games; reading and literacy,
Mad Libs to learn parts of speech. The children can even earn computer playtime once they complete their lessons. #math #reading #literacy #madlibs #allworkandnoplay #noway #chestereastside

Every day is hot, especially Wednesdays – good thing that’s the time each week we visit Swarthmore Swim Club. Everybody in the pool! #swarthmoreswimclub #swimming #cooloff #poolfun #chestereastside

The first week of Camp Phoenix had it all – video game creation and development (thanks, The Uncommon Individual Foundation – UIF), singing and drumming with a musician from the Community Arts Center and a picnic in Chester Park. #videogames #singing #drumming #picnic #chesterpark

One of the best things about Camp Phoenix – getting to pick your own clubs. You can do yoga with Dr. Barbara or work in the award-winning Chester Eastside – St. Paul’s Community Garden. #yoga #communitygarden #takeyourpick #chestereastside

Math and art – what a great combo. The campers measured their bodies on brown wrapping paper, then decorated them. Thanks to Ms. Me’ira from Congregation Beth Israel of Media for the special class.

Thoughts for the Fourth:
“America is known as a country that welcomes people to its shores. All kinds of people.”
— Ruth Bader Ginsburg
“I want to see young people in America feel the spirit of the 1960s and find a way to get in the way. To find a way to get in trouble. Good trouble, necessary trouble.”
— John Lewis

Good News from the United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey. Our three-year general operating grant has been extended for a fourth year, beginning July 1. What a blessing! #unitedway #grants #whatablessing #chestereastside
