The Lufkin Chapter of the Concern Black Men has provided the DON BOYD SUMMER YOUTH CAMP for the youth of Angelina County for over fourteen years. We plan to serve approximately 150 participants this year. The program concentrates on academic skills through computer training, math, reading and critical thinking skills. There is also a recreational component were students are provided physical activities to improve their overall health. Educational field trips will be provided to increase our youths exposure to positive cultural aspects in the surrounding communities. This year’s program is scheduled to extend over a period of five weeks and will commence on June 16, 2008 at 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The camp is being held on the Lufkin Middle School Campus. Breakfast and lunch will be provided along with afternoon snacks and refreshments for each participant daily.
