Our Philosophy
Camp SOAR opened its doors at the Nazareth Borough Park in the Summer of 2019. We wanted to develop a summer activity program like the one we were raised with. In order to do so, we needed to bring our program back to nature. Technology-free and fun to be had for all who join us. Each of the 6 weeks is a different theme. Each day is a new adventure. SOAR stands for STEAM, OUTDOORS, ARTS, and RECREATION. In a day, each child will participate in an art activity, an educational activity, and a gross motor movement activity geared toward the theme of the week.
We are staffed with educators, future educators, high school students and teenage volunteers working for community service hours. We have an amazing team of fun, energetic, caring, respectful, and responsible people. We invite all children ages 5-12, grades Kindergarten through 6th to join us.
We are a non-profit camp, and use the cost paid for tuition by families to help fund the program and the staff. We work in conjunction with Nazzy Moms Unite to organize ways to support the students, campers, and families within our own Nazareth community.
In the past 8 years, we were able to pay for the Clipper Organization to refurbish their field house. We have been able to set up scholarships for over 50 graduating NAHS Seniors in the past 5 years, and give over $35,000 in college assistance. We have supplied families with camp tuition, helping families who have suffered losses with mortgage payments, utility bills, grocery bills, and Thanksgiving meals. We have given to local sports teams, sponsored local programs and churches, we have been able to ongoingly donate to various different booster clubs across the Nazareth School District. Our goal is to give back in as many ways as possible to our community of Nazareth.
Through your tuition, we have been able to provide employment to at least 100 different local high school students, college students both going into the field of education and/or working with kids. We often employ teachers whom work in our and around the Nazareth community. Over the last 8 years, we have been able to provide over $500,000 in employment.
To date, we have been able to provide countless dollars towards the assistance to local needs. Last year in 2025, we gave $3000 in scholarships, many donations to high school sports teams, and activity programs. We have assistance in miscellaneous giving throughout the community, and $5000 given to help fund a new K9 program at the Nazareth Boro Police Department. Our passion is helping those within our community who need assistance, love and support.
