Summer Camp 2025
Wesley Housing’s free summer enrichment program, QUEST, is celebrating an “Under the Sea” theme this year by offering fun, educational activities focused on the magic and mysteries of our oceans. Rising first through sixth graders at 13 properties will combat summer learning loss by enhancing Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) and literacy skills; learning healthy behaviors; and attending exciting field trips.
Similarly, Odyssey offers a week of camp at four communities for older adults! These campers will enjoy nautical arts, crafts, food, and games, creating opportunities for socialization, bonding with peers, and engagement in stimulating tasks, promoting optimum health.

Sponsor a Camp
Summer is a time many of our kids fall behind in school compared to their more advantaged peers who have access to educational activities over break. At the same time, many older adults who live alone experience social isolation. Your business’ sponsorship of one of our summer camps will help our kids avoid summer learning loss and older adults experience a sense of belonging in their community.
Please send us your sponsorship inquiries.
