The Project Morry Experience
The Project Morry experience is based on a multi-year commitment including a year-round and summer camp program that is dedicated to helping your child grow, make healthy decisions and reach their goals for the future.
During the school year, your child will participate in educational enrichment activities at monthly meetings and gatherings in their community and at Project Morry’s headquarters.
At Morry’s Camp, the summer component of Project Morry, your child will make new friends, try new things, be exposed to positive values and experience growth through challenging activities - all in a safe and caring environment.

This is an elevated program that incorporates a high school specific education component and an extremely intentional team building and leadership program. We continue to ask your child to be the best they can be. This unique opportunity continues to expose your child to different people and communities. This is done in a positive environment, allowing them to learn how to work as a team, and reflect on choices and decisions they are making. Students maintain their desire for new experiences and opportunities following this experience. They also put into practice the values learned and exemplified through their participation in Project Morry.
