Tyler’s Camps are SummerCollab’s summer learning programs, which welcome students from diverse backgrounds and interests to engage in exploratory and educational programming. At Tyler’s Camp, we execute inspiring, confidence-building experiences that fuel student motivation and success during the academic school year.

Tyler’s Camp was founded as a place where student choice, voice and self direction are priority. Kids are defined by their interests and each one has their own unique sense of curiosity.

Kids explore their passions, curiosities, and interests, whether it means painting, sculpting, music, performing in a play, dance or athletics.

SummerLabs feature STEM-centered programs that bring hands-on experiences with 21st Century Skills and technologies to campers.

In memory of Tyler Brown

Tyler’s Camp is named for Tyler Brown, a Salesianum senior that was killed in a car crash in March 2016. Tyler was the true picture of a modern-day Renaissance man. He explored, tried, succeeded, and sometimes failed, but he never failed to try again. Tyler was an artist, who planned to go to Syracuse University for architecture. He was involved in community service – and Tyler’s Camps is something he would have loved to be a part of. In his spirit, we built this program to increase access to creative arts, performing arts and athletics programs for low income kids in our city. Tyler’s legacy embodied a truth that arts and sports are fundamental to our humanity – to our ability reflect and grow.

"If there is one thing I can take away from working at this camp. it is that these children will not only overcome each of their own challenges, but they will be the solution to many of ours. Ask any instructor here, and I guarantee everyone will testify that they have grown both as a person and a teacher by interacting with these kids. These children are ready, bright, and willing to help, grow, and make a difference."
