Sewa International recently wrapped up its four-week AmeriCorps Summer Camp, providing K–8 students with a dynamic learning experience aimed at preventing summer learning loss.
Sewa International has successfully concluded its four-week Sewa AmeriCorps Summer Camp 2026, as announced in a recent press release from the organization. The camp offered approximately 68 K–8 students an engaging summer learning experience designed to combat summer learning loss while enhancing critical thinking, creativity, teamwork, and social-emotional skills.
The program’s curriculum was a blend of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education, financial literacy, leadership development, civic engagement, and service-learning. Through a variety of hands-on activities, guest speakers, outdoor learning experiences, and collaborative projects, the camp aimed to equip students for success both academically and personally.
Weekly themes included STEM exploration, civic responsibility, financial literacy, and leadership, providing campers with practical opportunities to solve problems, build confidence, and foster a commitment to community service. This multifaceted approach was designed to ensure that students not only retained knowledge but also developed essential life skills.
Varsha Chauhan, Program Director of Sewa International AmeriCorps in Atlanta, emphasized the vision behind the initiative. “Our goal was to create an environment where children could continue learning, build confidence, and develop a spirit of service during the summer. Watching our campers grow academically, socially, and personally over four weeks was incredibly rewarding. Their enthusiasm, curiosity, and compassion reflected the true purpose of the program,” Chauhan stated.
The camp culminated in a ceremony that showcased student projects. Participants presented a range of demonstrations, including science experiments, community-themed skits, and engineering projects such as a solar-powered car, a mechanical hand, and Newton’s Pendulum. Additionally, campers showcased the yoga practice they developed throughout the program, highlighting the importance of physical well-being alongside academic growth.
Sewa International also acknowledged the invaluable contributions of its Leadership, Education, and Development (LEAD) high school volunteers, AmeriCorps members, teachers, and community partners who played a crucial role in supporting the camp. Key local collaborators included Georgia Serves, local parks and recreation departments, Happy Helpings, and MealsPro, among others, whose efforts were instrumental in facilitating the program.
