Our Kids Are Our Future

"Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me..." Mark 9:37

Play, Discover, Flourish

The Salvation Army's youth programs provide kids and teens with a safe place to have fun, learn, and discover the world around them. We open our doors to anyone in need and give all youth a chance to experience educational enrichment, life skills development, and spiritual and physical wellness. These programs and experiences allow at-risk children and teens to envision and pursue better futures. By offering helpful alternatives and hope, The Salvation Army Silicon Valley assists at-risk youth and their families to avoid social dysfunction and crime. Together with our helpful volunteers, we're empowering the next generation of dreamers and doers.

"I had so much fun."

"If hadn't come [to camp], I would have never learned how to swim, dance, and know that I’m important and loved. There will never be enough "thank yous," to thank you! I had SO much fun." -2018 Summer Camper

Here is a list of our current youth programs:

Summer Day Camps

From June through August, The Salvation Army provides school-age children a safe and nurturing environment where they can have fun and learn about the world around them. Through quality educational activities, exciting field trips, and personal enrichment programs, children are encouraged to grow and expand their minds. Most Summer Day Camp programs are open from early morning to late afternoon and children are fed breakfast, lunch, and a snack. Learn More >
