Camp Soulgrow Inc

Camp Soulgrow Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to promoting children's self-esteem and community engagement. Founded in 2014 by London Rosiere, the organization primarily operates as a workshop camp that provides diverse activities and experiences for children. Its mission focuses on strengthening children's mental health and fostering a sense of community through collaborative learning.

History and Mission

Since its inception, Camp Soulgrow has conducted over 700 workshops and impacted more than 3,000 children. The organization aims to help children disengage from technology and explore new interests, discover talents, and develop open-mindedness, leading to increased creativity, independence, and happiness[1][2].

The workshops are designed to be hands-on and immersive, connecting children with local artists and businesses who serve as mentors. Activities range from cultural experiences like cooking international cuisine to volunteering in community service projects. This approach promotes confidence-building, skill development, and lasting friendships among children from diverse backgrounds[1].

Operations and Inclusivity

Camp Soulgrow operates on a philosophy of inclusivity, offering all workshops free of charge to children regardless of their cultural or socioeconomic backgrounds. The organization views the community as its classroom and leverages local resources and people as educators[1][2].

Founder and Leadership

London Rosiere, the founder and "Head Kid" of Camp Soulgrow, is driven by a personal journey marked by resilience and a desire to make a difference in children's lives. The organization also includes other key staff members like Fallon Brennan and Lainey Chartier[2].

Future Plans

As Camp Soulgrow continues to grow, particularly in its New Orleans location, plans include securing a permanent space and acquiring a bus to enhance accessibility to the workshops across the city[1].
