Soul Models recently received a $3,000 sponsorship from MVSB and a $5,000 sponsorship from the Drew Cepp Scholarship Fund that will support the nonprofit’s upcoming summer camps. The programs are open to middle school-aged girls in the Seacoast area of southern Maine and New Hampshire.
“Thanks to these caring community partners, we are excited to once again host three free summer camp opportunities that will run in the Seacoast region,” said Carrie Penna, Executive Director and Lead Program Facilitator. “The camps offer young girls an opportunity to participate in expressive arts, yoga and fun – all while making new friends and learning new skills.”
“We are proud to support Soul Models and all the important work they are doing to provide safe and and engaging opportunities for youth in our community to learn, have fun and gain self-confidence,” said Angela Salb, MVSB Vice President, Commercial Lending Team Leader.
Soul Models summer camps take place at the Portsmouth Community Campus from July 15-19, Kittery Community Center from July 29-Aug. 2, and York Art Association from Aug. 12-16. Go to soulmodels.org to learn more.
The Drew Cepp Scholarship Fund was created in memory of Drew Ceppetelli, a young woman from Barrington who was killed in a car accident in November of 2022. This continued support from the fund honors Drew’s passion for mindfulness, movement, journaling and the other activities that are part of the Soul Models programming.
