The agency has structured its programs to support, strengthen, and empower families. Phyllis Wheatley's diverse programs range from academic enrichment and child development to social services, sports and recreations, and Camp Parsons. In keeping with Katharine Parsons' vision, our objective is to expand the camp into a state of the art facility while retaining the rustic charm of the past. Due to vandalism, poor maintenance through the years, and a lack of adequate funding, the camp is in disrepair and needs to be upgraded. Camp Parsons will represent a center for youth development and community building. The redevelopment and expansion of Camp Parsons will allow the Camp to better offer environmental education and ecotourism, in addition to expanding the day camp programming and offering meeting and event facilities to businesses, schools, and nonprofit organizations. To do this, PWCC's proposed strategies will build on its key strengths, resolve its weaknesses, avoid major external threats, and exploit external opportunities.enCommuniversityeconomic developmenteducationReport
