PROFILE: Footsteps to Success (East)

 Footsteps to Success (East) located in the heart of Malvern at Blessed Mother Teresa CSS is a free summer day camp for children aged 10-15. This is one of the two Footsteps camps founded by Andre Fullerton. The camp runs for six weeks from the beginning of July to mid-August. These children are able to participate in three various programs: sports, visual arts/dance, and leadership. Through this camp, the participants are able to further expand their interests in the different activities.

As stated in its name, this camp emphasizes the steps needed in order to succeed. Whether they are acting, playing sports, or improving their leadership skills, the staff and campers work together in order to impact the kids in a positive way.

With more than 120 kids each week, the staff challenge themselves every single day to bring a positive and hard-working attitude to work. They strive to make everyday a good day and hope that the kids leave happy and wanting to come back for more.
