Kids shouldn’t have to miss out on experiencing camp or summer activities because the costs are too steep for working families. Every child, regardless of zip code or family income, should have the opportunity for summer learning and enrichment. These programs support students both inside and outside the classroom, helping break barriers to student success that underserved young people often face. This legislation will provide the resources to help students on their way to a brighter future, helping ensure more kids have access to these opportunities.
