Climbing...Climb On!
Today was too amazing to not post about!
The kids had a great day at the YMCA. They climbed the Alpine Tower and swam in the water park. While climbing, the campers were very supportive of one another!
We were also very lucky to have NY Giants cornerback, Joe Burnett, with us today. He talked to the kids during lunch about his career in the NFL and how it is important to always ask questions and be curious. You never know who will have a huge impact in your life.
Thank you YMCA and Joe Burnett for making this field trip a huge success. :)

TSIC Summer Camp - Breaking into Business
WOW! We have received such great support from TSIC supporters about our three-week life skills camp. (http://www.takestocksarasota.org/)
The camp will take place June 13 to June 30, Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Campers will be immersed in all facets of learning: How to create their own business, deal with money, research colleges, and even create their own nutritional menu. Mentors and sponsors of the program will serve as guest speakers to share their advice and experiences with the students.
With lots of fun and hands-on learning, this camp will be located at Booker Middle School. Campers will also spend Thursdays around Sarasota on field trips relating to that week’s focus. The final day of camp culminates in a talent show put on by the campers. Each camper will share a poem, article, skit, rap or dance that they put together during camp. We invite you to join!
We wanted to give a quick thank you to all of our guest speakers! This camp would not be taking place without you. :)

Lovebug Season
I have to say I'm quite happy that those little critters are gone! And so is my car!!
Today was a very busy day for TSIC. We are all running around to check off our To-Do list for Celebration of Hope.
Lisa and I met today to discuss another exciting opportunity for June. We are in the process of putting together a 'Life Skills' summer camp for 15 students. The camp would have numerous activities all centered around business, education, community and the arts.
We're very blessed to have the support of many Sarasota community members, but always looking for more. If you're interested in helping out with the camp, please email Dana at dana@takestocksarasota.org.
Happy Monday!
