IMPACT Camps provide area high school-aged youth with an affordable, local week community service/urban mission experience. We offer IMPACT camps in the Summer and when feasible during Spring Break.
Students participating in the program spend Monday through Friday from 9 A.M to 4 P.M on a staff-supervised team working on a variety service projects. They will hear from community leaders and engage in reflection activities. Participants will also receive leadership and team-building training, and learn about housing, hunger, poverty, caring for the environment, and other issues facing the local community.
Students should bring their own lunch. Some small snacks will be provided.
Students must be dropped off/picked up or drive themselves to/from each service site. You will receive the list of service sites during the week before IMPACT Camp begins.
2024 Weeks available:
If the entire week is completed, students will receive 35 hours of volunteer service that can be used for community service requirements for schools and for award recognition.
Program Eligibility
Rising 9th through 12th grade students.
Registration Details & Requirements
There is a $50 non-refundable administration fee for all registrations.
Full Refunds (less non-refundable administration fee) will be issued if cancellation notification (in writing) is received two weeks in advance of program start date.
Cancellations received less than two weeks prior to programs start date are not eligible for refunds. (Please contact program staff for emergency exceptions.)
Students are not required to have a COVID vaccination to attend camp. Any student who has COVID-19 symptoms or known exposure to COVID-19 will be required to stay at home until the symptoms have passed. The student will be required to provide results of a negative COVID-19 test before returning to the site or beginning of any camp.
If a student becomes sick during camp a family member will be contacted. If the student is not feeling better after having the opportunity to rest, you will be asked to pick-up your child. We will also try to find a place to rest that is isolated from the other children. Additionally, if your child demonstrates COVID-like symptoms (fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, gastrointestinal issues, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea) during the program they will also be moved to an isolated location and the family will be notified for immediate pickup. Once a family member has been called, the parent or emergency contact must pick up the student within 60 minutes.
Please submit the negative test results to Alice Smith, Community Programs & Operation Manager. Email – Alice@TNVLC.onmicrosoft.com or call (919)321-6926.
