There are several ways that South Carolina students can be involved in programs at Proverbs, including Camp Proverbs, Camp Essence, Coach Pep’s Prep Academy and Extra M.I.L.E.
These camps are two week summer camps for 6th-12th grade students. Camp Proverbs is a boys camp and Camp Essence is for girls. There are sessions to teach growth in community service, academics, athletics, religion, and entrepreneurship. There is also a week of travel, so that the participants are able to gain experiences outside their own community.
This program is an online public education option based on the Camp Proverbs Mentoring Program and instruction from the South Carolina Preparatory Academy, an online charter school. This is a partnership facilitated by the Restoration Project Foundation.
A limited number of students can apply for funding for an extracurricular activity. Students can qualify if the family cannot afford to support the student’s interest. These experiences can include instrument lessons, swimming, coding, reading, robotics, etc.
