Welcome to Summer Camp 2017!
Through funding from DYCD and other supporters, Casita Maria offers educational and arts enrichment summer camps to hundreds of children from the South Bronx community. During the summer months, smART Kids Summer Camp (Elementary) and SONYC Summer Camp (Middle School), introduces youth to a wide array of cultural, educational and recreational activities that are designed to stimulate, engage, and entertain. Campers are exposed to artistic, fun educational events that build academic skills, and foster personal and social development. The camps are managed by a team of trained professionals at Casita Maria.

To kick off the ceremony, a proclamation from the Office of the Mayor, City of New York was read declaring May 31, 2017 as "The Bronx is the World's Strongest Borough Day." Certificates and medals were awarded to participants, the Ambassadors of Hope, by Baron Ambrosia and Fitness Trainer Thomas Johnson.
