Troy Camp

Troy Camp is one of USC's oldest and largest undergraduate-run service organizations, providing comprehensive, long-term mentorship for elementary through high school students in South Los Angeles. Together, we engage in educational, extracurricular, and leadership programs to foster personal growth and instill the value of learning. All Troy Camp programming is 100% free to students and their families. Every year, Troy Camp takes between 180 to 200 3rd - 5th grade students from around the USC area to a week-long summer camp. During the year following camp, counselors mentor the children through yearlong activities aimed to foster community and connection. In addition to the yearlong events, Troy Camp counselors also put on after-school tutoring and workshops for elementary, middle, and high school students. Troy Camp programming is led by a 16 member Executive Board composed of USC undergraduate students who volunteer their time and plan all Troy Camp events. Events are staffed by a network of over 200 USC undergraduate student volunteer counselors. Troy Camp is supported by both a USC Faculty Board and Alumni Advisory Board composed of educators, non-profit managers, financial consultants, and marketing professionals.
