WELCOME TO THE HOME OF
THE MAKING MAGIC ALLIANCE . . . making magic one child at a time . . .
The Making Magic Alliance brings the whole community together with the common goal of helping families who need it most with afterschool, summer, and track out options for their young people. We are all about success for Wake County youth.
The Alliance is made up of individuals, organizations and corporations from across Wake County who recognize the need for outside of school opportunities for Wake’s youth. We’re a group of people who are serious about closing the achievement gap and helping all of Wake’s young people have memorable experiences outside of the school day.
We work hard to provide summer camp scholarships for youth who need them most.
Making Magic Camps are not your average summer day camp. Campers will definitely get their share of fun and activity WITH PURPOSE. These summer learning sites are focused on four main areas:
Camp scholarship awards are good for up to six weeks at Making Magic Provider Camps.
Camps are designed to reduce summer learning loss and childhood obesity. For more information on the importance of summer learning check out the Summer Learning Association's website at www.summerlearning.org.
