Camp SoulGrow is a nonprofit charity operating out of Montauk and Hampton Bays. Founded in July of 2014 by London Rosiere, the camp has conducted over 179 workshops and helped over 324 kids disengage from technology and experience healthy, fun activities utilizing their communities and the people that make them. “Between our historic Third House in Montauk, Squiretown Park in Hampton Bays, our recently opened Camp SoulGrow Studio in the heart of Montauk, and our 23 passenger SoulGrow Bus, Camp SoulGrow offers the opportunity for real people to teach real kids regardless of geographical or socioeconomic backgrounds,” shares Rosiere.

London adds, “Camp SoulGrow visits local East End businesses, where they host and teach free camps, introducing the kids to what their particular business offers to the community, while also giving them a “VIP” experience. We pride ourselves on the experiential. We don’t just have pasta for lunch, we go into a restaurant, learn about a culinary career, and how to make pasta from scratch! Our workshops empower local youths, giving them handson mentoring experiences from local business owners, artists, and community leaders.”

“We also offer in-house programming in dance, music, and art providing creative outlets to our kids for achieving a wellbalanced and fulfilling life. Camp SoulGrow aims for kids to find inspiration, hope, and strength within themselves and their community. We strive to give our children access to artistic, social, recreational, and creative opportunities to grow into their best selves,” says London.
