Summer Migrant Program - Vamos Outdoors Project

In partnership with area schools, this service provides summer school programs for Migrant and Latine youth that combine bilingual academic instruction with outdoor experiences. These summer programs allow Vamos to help families that move temporarily to the area to work in agriculture by providing a space for their children to engage in meaningful activities and enjoy their temporary home while their parents are at work. Children are enrolled based on where they live and what school they attend, with priority given to participants that are multilingual and whose dominant language is Spanish.
