Spring Forward Summer Enrichment Camps is offered by Spring Forward Learning Center, which began in 1999 when parishioners at Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church in Rock Island, Illinois started it as a mission project. The program, which originally served about 40 students from Audubon Elementary, expanded to include homework help and tutoring, and by 2009 added a second program site at First Presbyterian Church in Milan, leading to steady growth to seven after-school and nine summer programming sites, as well as a family literacy program and sports clubs. Spring Forward’s mission is to provide educational programs at no cost to enhance the lives of families in the community. The organization has been nationally recognized by the National Summer Learning Association. The dedicated team includes three full-time staff members and a network of certified teachers, camp counselors, and support staff, with leadership that includes Executive Director Robbie McIntyre and Youth Program Director Allycia Andrews, along with a board that includes professionals from education, community organizations, law, and business. Spring Forward is partnering with local school districts to offer this five-week summer enrichment camp.
