Summer Youth Program

Summer Youth Program

Summer Youth Program (SYP) is an 8-week youth program that serves youth, ages 7-14.  The goal of the program is to provide community youth with a summer of educational experiences that build on their strengths, talents, and interests.

Children will experience a wide range of learning opportunities, hands-on crafts/activities, prevention programs, and interactive sessions with our participating Tribal programs.

The Acoma Learning Center established the Summer Youth Program in 2010 and has grown ever since.
