At Camp Rise Up, teens build confidence while learning about their emotional and physical development and acquiring practical skills designed to keep them in school and gain employment. Rashelly has come for three years to take a break from the struggles of the city. “It’s so beautiful. You can feel the breeze, the nature—everything,” she says. “I keep coming back because it’s just the best way to feel nice again.” When she leaves camp, she says she is proud of herself, having learned so much in class and outside.
