Our summer day camp has the most profound impact on the program. An operation of 500 youths, mentors, and organizers each summer, TLC TNT truly feels like family.

Age Range:
  • We offer weekly programming for children starting from 4-18 years old
  • Depending on the age we plan the week accordingly to the cognitive, social, and academic capabilities by age
  • We also provide accommodations to students in special education

Cost:
  • Camp is free, with a suggested donation of $5.00
  • We know summer camps can be very expensive for families who come from low-income backgrounds. We pride in not turning anyone away from gaining our camp's experience

Activities:
  • Our campers enjoy daily recreational games, exercise, social skills training, and literacy skills workshops
  • We host community field trips to businesses and attractions such as:
    • Green Zebra Grocery Store
      • Campers learn about organic foods and living healthy lifestyles
    • Powell’s Bookstore
      • ​Each student gets to keep one book, and thus learn the true value of reading
    • The Oregon Zoo
    • The Oregon Coast
    • Domino's Pizza
      • ​Domino's will host the store for our campers to come in and learn to make their own pizzas

Why Your Child Should Join TLC-TNT Summer Camp

  1. We engage a diverse group of youth in numerous arts & crafts activities, along with non-competitive recreational games
  2. Every year we have a new camp theme. In addition, our crafts are specific for each age group so everyone is engaged and doing something they enjoy
  3. We promote academic success. We value education and push campers to read throughout their day at camp. Everyday, campers leave with a brand new book that is a recent publication and popular with their age group
  4. TLC TNT is an active camp for healthy kids. We organize various outdoor group games and encourage students to continue the games at home
  5. We foster positive self-esteem. Every morning, we chant with the campers, "I love myself." We sing, play, and engage them with speakers and discussions
  6. We go on multiple field trips each summer, including to Powell's book store and the Oregon Zoo
