About the Camp
Structure. Growth. Community.
For many East Baltimore youth, summer means unsupervised time, food insecurity, and limited opportunity. The Mack Lewis Foundation Summer Camp was built to be a direct alternative — structured, enriching, and completely free.
More than 70 youth participate each summer in a program that blends physical activity (including boxing), academic support, creative arts, and one-on-one mentorship. Campers build skills and friendships that carry through the school year.
Our staff and volunteer mentors are drawn from the community — people who know these kids, know this neighborhood, and are committed to the next generation of East Baltimore leaders.
Camp Activities
Something for every camper.
Athletics & Boxing
Physical conditioning, boxing fundamentals, and team sports give youth structured physical activity throughout the summer.
Academic Support
Reading, math enrichment, and educational workshops keep youth engaged and prevent learning loss during summer break.
Arts & Expression
Creative outlets including visual arts, music, and performance help youth build confidence and discover new talents.
Mentorship
Each camper is paired with a mentor — a coach, community leader, or volunteer — who provides consistent guidance and support.
Field Trips & Enrichment
Planned outings and enrichment activities expose East Baltimore youth to experiences and opportunities beyond their immediate neighborhood.
Structured Daily Schedule
A consistent daily routine builds habits and gives youth the structure that supports positive development during the school break.
