Episode Details

Flanner House’s wildly popular 5 Focus summer camp is turning summer into a powerhouse of growth—building character, responsibility, and kindness in kids from kindergarten through fifth grade through field trips, daily mile walks, and hands-on learning. With every session selling out and waiting lists overflowing, it’s clear this isn’t just childcare—it’s a vital lifeline for families and a critical antidote to the summer learning slide. Kids aren’t just having fun; they’re mentoring each other, growing confidence, and connecting to their city through projects like their urban farm. Yet, space is limited, leaving heartbreaking stories of kids turned away—especially those who’d otherwise be unsafe. With a capital campaign in the works and a sliding-scale model powered by donations, Flanner House refuses to let money be a barrier, ensuring every child, no matter their background, gets the chance to thrive.
