Motivational Coach and founder of SOCKAC
Our Camps
Our mission is to create positive changes in small towns and rural communities by empowering young people through programs, workshops, activities, productions, and performances surrounding the arts and science which affords the adventurers a wealth of "adventures" to explore and begin defining their greatness.
SOCKAC is our parent entity with several divisions!! When the adventurers express a desire to learn about some area, the CEO go out and find experts in that area to come and teach the adventurers. Take a look below at our camps we have so far and what's coming!

A Place Filled With Adventures
Turning Things Around Productions
Turning Things Around Productions offers options of learning more about the acting industry through stage plays and performances. Play writer Karen Matthews is our primary source of plays as she writes gospel plays with real-life and relatable stories.
The adventurers also have opportunity to explore the world of fashion as we host an annual fashion show in December--"A Chosen Generation Strutting Through Winter Wonderland."
The adventurers learn much more than memorizing lines or learning to walk the runway. Accountability, time management, commitment, team support, self-confidence, setting standards, marketing and more.
Cajun Gems Culinary
Cajun Gems Culinary is the division which teaches the adventurers about the world of culinary, entrepreneurship, and community services. Partnering with Pastors Steven and Sarahi Sawtelle, Hundredfold Coffee House the adventurers are responsible for creating and cooking a healthy menu to feed the homeless and less fortunate in Ville Platte, Louisiana.
This program is level-based beginning with a Beginner's Class (grades four through six) and moving into levels of one, two, three, four, and five for grades seven through twelve. The adventurers learn about food safety, food prep, menu development, entrepreneurship, and provide a community service.
Masterpieces
Masterpieces is a division of SOCKAC that affords our adventurers to explore the world of entrepreneurship by turning their hobbies and crafts into a business! The adventurers will have their online retail store to sell their creations as well participate in open markets.
Community Compassion
Community Compassion is the division of SOCKAC that teaches our adventurers about the joy of "service over self". We engage with helping as many community service projects as possible. We also ensure that we are giving to those who many seem to forget are the frame of our community--our city workers. Our adventurers look forward to helping CASA and Veterans Day every year. On Monday nights when schoolwork does not interfere, our adventurers join GRACE for the Streets in feeding the homeless and less fortunate in our community.
Ready for What's Next
Winter 2027
Ready for What's Next is a meaningful, hands-on learning program designed with opportunities to equip young people with practical tools for everyday success while encouraging confidence, independence, and personal growth. Rooted in a mission to create positive change through arts, science, skill-building, and creative exploration, the program help young people build practical life skills through engaging in hands-on activities such as sewing, cooking, budgeting, childcare, balancing work and home responsibilities; balancing social interaction with peers, and continued education. Through these experiences, young people gain confidence, independence, and the tools needed to navigate everyday life successfully.
