The L.I.F.E. Teen Day Camp offers teenagers an engaging day camp experience centering on Leadership, Community Service, and Green Technology. The acronym L.I.F.E. stands for Leadership, Integrity, Financial Literacy, and Eco-Friendly.  L.I.F.E.  targets teenagers between the ages of 13 -18.  We focus on the teenagers from the Central Ward of Newark, NJ; however,  the camp is open to teens from all of Newark and the surrounding communities. 

The camp is designed to educate, expose and challenge the camper in the areas of Integrity, Financial Literacy, Community Service, and Green Technology. Each week the camper will attend classes in Moral Development; Financial Literacy; Cinema Studies; Physical Fitness.  All classes are taught in an atmosphere that promotes discussion, questions, and hearing from each other as it is led by a trained professional.  It is in their knowledge and experience that the camper begins to use their knowledge, gain confidence and grow as a leader.  Each week includes a community service project both at the Willing Heart Community Care Center and outside in the community.  Through these projects they learn to give back to those who have given to them and to respect that which has been given to them.  The camp experience is culminated in the Eco-Friendly project.  They work as a team throughout the project and are rewarded through the process by encouragement, hard work and great satisfaction at seeing the fruit of their labor.
