Our programs are intentionally designed to provide youth with access to opportunities, resources, and exposure they may otherwise have limited access to.

What makes APFY unique is that we are not a traditional camp focused solely on entertainment or childcare. We are a mission-driven youth center committed to helping teens discover their potential while creating a genuine sense of belonging, accountability, and purpose. Our staff takes the time to truly know and invest in each student, encouraging them to grow not only academically, but as leaders and future professionals.


Because our program is intentionally small and impact-driven, commitment matters deeply. Every spot in our summer program is valuable, and attendance directly affects the group experience, workshops, field trips, and planned collaborative activities.


Students accepted into APFY Summer Camp are expected to fully commit to the 5-week experience by arriving on time, participating actively, communicating responsibly, and showing respect for both their peers and the opportunity being provided to them.


We are looking for students who genuinely want to be here — teens who are eager to learn, grow, challenge themselves, and make the most of their summer alongside an incredible team of mentors and peers.
