Giving Kids a Shot That Can’t Be Blocked
The Skyhook Foundation helps kids soar above and beyond the four walls of the classroom by providing an engaging STEM-based educational experience in the great outdoors, and preparing students to be leaders and visionaries in the 21st century.
As the flagship program of the Skyhook Foundation, Camp Skyhook partners with Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) to get children outdoors, where nature becomes their greatest teacher. With a curriculum developed by UCLA and NASA, students get a hands-on, immersive experience learning about Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics in a unique environment.
