As a result, several of the boys at Camp Kilpatrick are now working in high-paying jobs doing computer repair and they're also attending college. Individual students who show initiative, enthusiasm and a desire to continue their education also receive their own computer systems. The youngsters are invited to participate in art, music and poetry contests. We arrange for a stage with sound equipment. Professionals in the different fields volunteer as Judges.
Popular performers host the event and sing their songs, in between the contestants' demonstrations.
All of the participants receive a variety of prizes. The three winners in each category also receive cash prizes and trophies. All of the contestants get to record their songs at a professional studio, read their poems at a famous literary center and receive scholarships to the Art Center College of Design. This event is incredibly popular and has turned the lives around of many participants. In all of our programs, the youths are encouraged to work towards a common purpose with their mentors.
