BUILD Chicago has been hosting a summer camp in Austin for youth from kindergarten to 8th with enrichment activities, peace circles, basketball and volleyball – and a small farm with some very friendly chickens.
Daniel Brown, a middle schooler who’s been participating in BUILD programs for two years, said having an in-person summer camp this year was important because “it keeps kids like me doing stuff instead of staying home and sleeping. It keeps us active.”
