Joffe Academy: KIPP Learners

Mikey Latner

Project:Camp was founded by Mikey Latner, a camp director with decades of experience in youth education, and Ozzie Baron, a strategy and operations expert who has helped organizations start, grow and scale. Mikey and Ozzie are old friends who both had impactful, transformative experiences as campers and counselors at summer camp. In starting Project:Camp, their goal is to provide the same mentorship, humor and sense of belonging that they associate with camp for kids who need it most. The goal isn’t simply to provide a safe space for kids whose lives have been disrupted, but to help them learn, grow and thrive as a result.
