Footsteps to Success, hosted at Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, is one of the three summer camps run by Focus on Youth in 2024. Founded by Andre Fullerton and community partners, Footsteps to Success was created to help urban communities move forward and involve the youth.
The program runs from July 2nd to August 6th. Frassati is located near Malvern, Scarborough, engaging campers aged 4 to 13 in Arts, STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), Leadership and Sports. This year, Robotics was added as one of the newest extra-curricular disciplines for the Footsteps Camp.
A day at Footsteps Frassati has its FOY camp counsellors joyfully serving a hearty breakfast and leading an introduction to get them ready. The campers embark on field trips once a week to destinations that leave them with unforgettable memories.
CAMP HIGHLIGHTS
During the second week, the exuberant campers were given the amazing opportunity to visit the Morningside Cineplex with campers from St. Martin De Porres, all under the watchful care of their devoted camp counselors and coordinators. While getting everyone in line to the cinema, the campers were bubbling with excitement to watch Despicable Me 4 with their friends and counselors. Heartfelt smiles, playful poses, and contagious laughter filled the entire theater!
On the 16th of July in Frassati (week 3), the campers had a fun-filled experience indoors despite the stormy weather. The FOY Media team was greeted by the children’s bliss and vibrancy inside the campus, as the kids eagerly delved into various activities and disciplines.
During the fourth week with Footsteps Frassati pulsated with energy that outshone all previous weeks in the program. Once again, the campers were fully immersed in each specific discipline. Up on the second floor of Frassati, two thrilling new activities were added to the already wide array of disciplines. FOY Camp Counsellor Thompson Boye poured his heart into engaging the campers in a Haircut/barber program; the next room had a hairstyling program.
