Knowledge Is A Ticket Out of Poverty

We help lift children up by providing free character building scouting programs, day camps, musical instruction, gym access, and more.

The Salvation Army of Washtenaw County provides a number of programs for children and young adults.

The Ann Arbor Corps Character Building scouting programs are for children in 1st through 12th grades during the school year. In the summer children can participate in Day Camp in Ann Arbor. Some music instruction is also available as well as various other programs during the school year. Call 734-668-8353 for more information.
