OUR MISSION
According to a Brookings Institution report, students, particularly those considered disadvantaged, starting the new academic school year have achievement levels lower than where they were at the beginning of summer break.
Students face summer learning loss in reading and mathematics each summer break. Summer learning loss is seen disproportionately in lowerincome communities, often communities of color. Reasons for this include a need for more knowledge surrounding summer programs, disinterest, and a lack of transportation. As a result,
Cynthia Mickens Ministries, Inc. Summer Learning and Feeding Camp exist to mitigate learning loss and child hunger during the summer.

4-WEEK FREE SUMMER LEARNING CAMP
CMM hosts a 4-week free Summer Learning and Feeding Camp to help mitigate these prevalent issues.
Each student receives two hot, nutritious meals and a snack daily.
In addition, for the second year, CMM engaged Young STEM Professionals to provide STEM courses. Last year, our partnership with Young STEM Professionals allowed us to offer Aerospace Engineering, Forensic Science, Introduction to Drones, and Driving STEM Race Car Challenge courses.

Forensic Stem Camp: students will embark on a new journey each day to decipher cryptic clues and biological codes to help identify the thief through chemical and mechanical analysis. Students will use principles of investigative science to analyze a crime scene and draw conclusions based on the evidence. In addition, they will understand how to read a chain of DNA and build a lie detector based on the understanding that the human body is a conductor of electricity. Students will take home their projects.
