Camp Grit is an intensive but fun life skills camp for all youth.  Over the course of classes, youth learn about the skills it takes to survive.  We engage students with fun, hands-on learning, and projects.

The camps quickly saturate basic life skills that are needed for independent living.  Camps have been called potentially life-saving and life-changing by law enforcement and behavioral scientists.
