Our Summer programs are designed to boost learning, strengthen confidence, and encourage emotional growth. Summer camp, in particular, is important for kids as it offers a break from the traditional classroom while providing a safe space for them to develop new skills, make lasting friendships, and engage in creative, physical, and educational experiences. Through both structured and casual activities outside of school hours, we help youth stay engaged, build essential skills, and connect with others in meaningful ways.
WOTM Summer programs offer a wide range of activities, including arts & crafts, arts & culture, sports recreation, social recreation, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). In addition, students enjoy exciting field trips to places like the Bronx Zoo, the Museum of Natural History, and the Science Museum, providing them with a fun and educational experience throughout the day.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do we register our child for Summer Camp?
Summer Rising portal is currently open for registration through the MySchools account. This information can be retrieved by the school’s Parent Coordinator.
Can I register to multiple schools?
Yes, you can register for up to 10 schools.
Am I automatically accepted into Summer Camp if I get a confirmation email?
No, you will be sent an email locking in your child/ren seat. You will be then contacted by the CBO that you are accepted for further registration.
Does my child have to attend the whole 7 weeks of Summer Camp?
Ideally that is what we ask of you but we do understand vacations are planned. We ask that you communicate with the school and CBO assigned to your family ahead of time so that the child is not discharged.
