Welcome
St. Charles Inclusion and Interaction Camp
(Previously, Hang Out Days)
Covid-19, created major disruptions in support services within schools and the community, as well as social norms, which affected youths' emotional stability. This created the “perfect storm” particularly true among youth with pre-existing vulnerabilities such as familial adversity, hate, racism and harassment. Repairs are required.
St. Charles is showing their support and pledge to work with Samara Learning Center toward creating an inclusive, diverse, equitable, accepting and welcoming community. The will sponsor underserved youth in order to increase access to services.

Steven Davidson, the proprietor of The Bite (in Tumalo, Oregon) answered our request for redeemable's with a $250 cash donation toward scholarships. By doing so, he took a "bite" out of the financial burden that block students from receiving academic services they need to avoid "summer slide". The Bite is more than Food, Beer and Fun; it's philanthropic.

COHC generously awarded Samara Learning Center $5,000. This mini grant will permit students in financial need to attend our Achievement Camp, an academic summer program that aims to prevent summer slide.
