Summer Day Camp 2015
WE ARE East St.Louis will be the 29th year of Griffin Center summer camps. Seven weeks of games, music, crafts, physical activity, field trips, swimming, reading, nutritious lunches & snacks as they learn about the history of E. St. Louis and how they are its present and its future. It costs approximately $16,000 a week to operate the camps in each of our three public housing program sites and so I take this opportunity to humbly ask for any assistance you may be able to give to help us provide a safe, positive summer experience for these very vulnerable, at-risk children.
About the Griffin Center
Griffin Center, an agency of Catholic Urban Programs, was founded in 1986. The parent agency has been in existence since 1971, serving the needs of the very poor, homeless, and indigent aged of the metro East St. Louis region.
