How we help empower youth
The Salvation Army operates youth programs in low and moderate income neighborhoods across the Western St. Paul area. These programs provide children with a safe place to play and learn in a supervised and constructive environment. The Salvation Army will continue to make an effort in the local communities to provide these learning opportunities.
Summer Day Camp (June - August)
Our summer day camp is a great alternative to traditional child care options. Our program helps keep your child’s mind engaged over the summer through a variety of field trips and learning opportunities. If you are interested in learning more about this program, please call 651-224-4316.

Gather & Grow Kids Group
