Our mission is to inspire the youth of today to build successful adults for tomorrow.
Founded in 2006, LCYC offers a variety of summer camp opportunities for LaGrange County youth and their families to participate in at local area schools and parks. LCYC also has a coordinator that acts as a liaison and entry port for the out of school suspension program for all LaGrange County school districts.
Our vision is to provide programs in a safe environment to strengthen youth and their families.
It is our belief that by providing a safe environment, diverse learning opportunities, real-world experiences and connections to the community reaches far beyond a child. It can affect their entire family, community and ultimately the economy.
The Story of Us
Since around 2010, LCYC has been dedicated to providing youth summer camps for the young people of LaGrange County. Over the past decade, we have witnessed substantial growth in camp attendance, prompting us to expand the variety of camps we offer. Ranging from Art to Conservation, we believe it is essential to engage our creative minds in both indoor and outdoor activities. If you are interested in learning more about our summer camp offerings, please reach out to us via email, and speak with Jennifer.
While most people need to be part of a community for life’s necessities, most people want to be part of a community because there is something indescribably lovely about being a part of a group of people who share something more substantial than geographical location… something they feel passionately about. Something that, when shared, makes individuals seem less lonely. A community is a safe place and LCYC is blessed to be a part of LaGrange County communities.
