An Enriching Summer

OC –Who, Where , What?

Odyssey Concierge CEO, Jerricka Kelly continues her spirit of giving by spending a portion of her summer in Pine Bluff, Arkansas at the Chester Hynes Community Center. In its first year of operation, the summer camp is a new concept which incorporates art and physical activity too, this is a brilliant and proactive way to get the creativity flowing. Another unique aspect of the program is that while most summer programs accept kids up to12, Team Hunter enables kids from ages 4-15 to participate.

Why? It’s all about new experiences.

Not only do the children enjoy the physical activities during their time at camp, they also take educational field trips and are being introduced to foreign language acquisition.

Jerricka states that, “The main objective is to expose the children to new experiences and learning opportunities which will enhance their confidence and ability to become successful members of society. The program promotes learning education, character development, discipline and great sportsmanship. We strive to provide life skills that will enable them to make positive choices.” 

Building Foundations

One of the goals of the camp is to provide quality instructors with character and skill to teach and have a positive impact on each participant. The camp counselors were hand picked out of 200 applicants thus all teachers who are in charge of instructing the children are Christian educators and coaches who use real life skills, and experiences to motivate and teach. College students who also happen to be college athletes, were also recruited to assist throughout the summer. The program strives to builds spiritual and social foundation as well by incorporating speakers such as religious leaders, city officials, police officers, counselors, educators and more.

Partnerships that Count

It has taken a lot of support to make the Summer Camp Enrichment Program engaging and effective for the kids.  Thanks to Torii and Katrina Hunter  -Team Hunter, and Odyssey Concierge/ The Person I Choose to Be, who have endeavored to make the summer in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, fun and filled with outstanding learning moments.
