C.A.R.E. Camp is coming to a close – and

what a summer it has been. From fishing

lessons at the Outdoor Campus, to exciting

weather experiments, to a CSI-style

fingerprinting project, the kids enrolled this

summer in C.A.R.E. Camp have had their

share of fun.

Live. Work. Play. Together.

That’s the mission of the MCC, and

C.A.R.E. Camp – which stands for cultural

appreciation, respect and education – puts

it into action.

The MCC’s science and math (STEM)

focused camp has grown in popularity over

the past decade. This summer we had

nearly 250 kids in our program. Students of

all backgrounds, kindergarten through fifth

grade, are encouraged to attend – and

C.A.R.E. is free.

C.A.R.E. also serves a serious purpose.

According to research from RAND

Education, students at the end of the

summer perform, on average, one month

behind where they left off in the spring.

C.A.R.E. Camp combats this by helping

kids retain the skills already learned in

school while building others.

We’re already looking forward to next

summer, but first we have to put a fitting

cap on this year’s final session – 60 kids

are depending on us to make learning fun.

Remember to register early for next

summer’s sessions. C.A.R.E. fills up fast!

The Coliseum is more popular than ever

before. The commercial kitchen is a big

draw for many events and is included in

the rental price. The Coliseum is larger

than most banquet facilities in the area

boasting 9,400 sq. ft. of space on the main

floor: enough for 1000+ theater seating

and 400+ banquet seating!

Unique Historic Event Venue Youth Program Fundraiser

Savory. Succulent. Scrumptious. Or just

plain yummy.

Any of these descriptors apply to the

annual smorgasbord on display at the

International Chef Cook-Off, which takes

over The Coliseum on Saturday, Dec. 3.

The event, now in its second year, pits

Sioux Falls’ finest in a head-to-head

culinary throw-down.

International Chef Cook-Off benefits our

After-School Programs, which consist of a

wide array of initiatives designed to meet

the needs of the community. The event

also benefits all who attend – just make

sure you come on an empty stomach.

The cook-off offers a chance to spotlight

our youth programs, including Froggy

Reads, Natives Count, Native Youth

Club, summer C.A.R.E Camps, Self-

Defense/Judo, and Ethnic Youth Day.

The International Chef Cook-Off also

serves a key fundraising role for the youth

programs, all of which are free.

The cook-off also lets us spotlight pillars

in our community who have helped

advance our mission: To provide

experiences and services for all people to

learn, celebrate and share through our

community’s cultural diversity.

What better way to do that than with

food?

Visit our website at www.sfmcc.org for

information on the International Chef Cook-

Off, as well as our many youth programs.

Sioux Falls was chosen as one of 15 cities to play host to Navy Week, giving area youth a

chance to see the men and women in uniform. The Navy visited our city July 18-24.

Our kiddos at C.A.R.E. Camp were fortunate enough to be one of the Navy’s stops along

the way. In fact, they came to the MCC three days – and Rear Admiral Bret Muilenberg

(bottom picture, back row on the right) even made an appearance. The kids enjoyed music and

games and had a chance to ask questions. It was a great opportunity for our campers.

Out with the old –

in with the new.

With our company

vans now sporting the

new logo, kids in our

youth programs get to

cruise around Sioux

Falls in style.

The vans at the MCC

see a lot of action, from

C.A.R.E Camp in the

summer to the after-

school programs the

rest of the year.
