About the Provider

Description: CAMP YDP is a registered non-profit organization seeking to provide holistic solutions to the complex needs of the Northside of Paterson by empowering families educationally, socially, economically, and spiritually. In order to meet these needs and empower families, we provide a wholesome and intellectually stimulating environment for children whose parent(s) are actively studying, seeking employment, or working. By caring for their children, we enable parents to strengthen their family as they find opportunities to provide for their children. Furthermore, by providing a supplementary academic environment of growth, respect, and enjoyment, we foster success and the pursuit of it amongst individual young people--tomorrow's Paterson. To this end, CAMP YDP engages families through a daily After-School Program and Pre-School.
