C5 Los Angeles supports youth from throughout the Los Angeles area with year round leadership development programs, community service activities, residential camp experiences and a variety of summer programs — all focused on helping high potential teens develop the skills they need to stay on track and become successful adults. Once selected to this 5 year program, youth participate in a variety of school year events and activities throughout Southern California. The C5 Los Angeles office is located at The Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Los Angeles in downtown LA, where the program is managed by a staff of full-time youth development professionals who support our teens on a year-round basis.
C5 Los Angeles youth spend four weeks during each of their first two summers at Camp Paintrock in Hyattville, Wyoming. The camp is nestled at the foot of the Big Horn Mountain range, along the picturesque Paintrock Creek on a working cattle ranch. Teens can explore over 80,000 acres of unspoiled open meadows, mountain and forest trails and an abundance of wild life for the viewing. Complete with rappelling courses, equestrian facilities, archery range, swimming pool, access to a private reservoir for canoeing and a never-ending amount of hiking and mountain biking trails, Camp Paintrock provides the perfect backdrop for empowering Los Angeles area youth to develop the personal leadership skills that will help make their dreams come true.
The summer experiences in Wyoming along with the year round programming help provide youth with the requisite leadership skills needed for the three following summer experiences in which youth will travel to Montana to paddle along the Missouri River during year 3, plan and participate in a 7-10 day college tour during year 4,and wrap up their C5 experience with a week long community leadership program during year 5.
