Welcome to "A Summer Adventure: Camp Carter 2025"

Welcome to “A Summer Adventure: Camp Carter 2025”!  We are excited to welcome our middle school campers from across the country to Power Up and Ignite with an experience of culture, connections, and a celebration of our history and legacy.  This camp is curated for children currently in grades 6-8 and filled with memorable age-appropriate activities to nurture our future African American leaders.

Our camp will be held from Sunday, July 20-Saturday, July 26, 2025 in Fort Worth, Texas.  Campers must arrive on Sunday with a parent/guardian between 2PM-4PM CST for check-in.  Campers are expected to stay the full duration of the camp session.  Checkout is on Sunday at 12PM CST.  Once you have successfully registered, you will receive a link to complete the required YMCA registration.  Please be sure to complete the registration by the deadline given. 

The National Curriculum and Development Committee held a Camp Carter Webinar with details on April 23rd for interested Mothers.  Please view the webinar here to gather all of the important information prior to registration.  All registration fees are non-refundable. However, substitutions are allowed before June 15, 2025.  If you have any questions, please contact National Curriculum Chair, Melissa Benford, at jjeasternrccmelissa@gmail.com.

Registration is open until June 8, 2025, or until it sells out, whichever comes first.
