NEED/IMPACT:
In the summer of 2021, the BTM camp opened with two one-week sessions consisting of 15
male youths in each session. In the success of the camp, in the summer of 2022, the GTP portion
was added also consisting of 15 young girls to the one-week long camp. In the summer of 2023,
with such positive feedback and public interest for the program, we were able to offer a monthlong

GA. This allocation will support the 4th annual BTM & CTP summer camp experience, allowing DeKalb youth to attend free of charge.
