A Summer of Growth, Fun, and Friendship!

This summer, nearly 300 amazing kids will come together for the ultimate camp experience at Joe Patton Academy Camp (JPAC)—a vibrant, inclusive environment filled with imagination, learning, and joy.Whether it’s diving into a science project, dancing with new friends, scoring the winning point in a game, or stepping onto the stage in our talent show, JPAC is a place where every child thrives.

THEME: LEVEL UP!
This year’s camp theme—Level Up!—challenges our campers to step into their power and rise to
new possibilities. It’s about:
Growth: developing new skills and self-confidence
Grit: pushing past comfort zones with courage
Goals: achieving personal milestones through fun, focused activities
From arts to athletics, theater to teamwork, every session is designed to inspire breakthroughs in
leadership, resilience, and joy.
“Level Up!” isn’t just a motto—it’s a mindset. Campers leave with more than memories. They leave
transformed—with deeper confidence and the tools to keep reaching higher long after summer ends.
