Every child deserves a place where they can grow academically, spiritually, and socially. At The Meeting Place Learning Center, Smart Kids Summer Camp provides that place.

For six weeks each summer, children from Cleveland’s Buckeye community experience a safe and joyful environment filled with learning, faith, and fun. Campers participate in sports, enrichment activities, and daily Bible lessons that help them build confidence, character, and friendships that last long after summer ends.

But the impact goes deeper than activities.

In a neighborhood where many families face economic challenges, Smart Kids Summer Camp provides a place where children are encouraged, supported, and reminded that their lives have purpose. Through caring mentors, engaging programs, and faith-centered guidance, students grow in both knowledge and faith.

And the joy is real.

Last summer, 100% of campers said they had fun.

That joy matters. When children experience belonging, encouragement, and faith-filled community, they begin to see a brighter future for themselves.

Your gift helps provide:

Safe summer programming for Cleveland youth
Enrichment activities, sports, and outdoor adventures
Daily Bible lessons and spiritual encouragement
Meals and mentorship from caring staff

Together, we can continue building Bright Futures. Strong Faith.

Give today and help a child experience a summer filled with faith, friendship, and fun.
