The KAC STEAM Leadership Academy summer camp was founded in the summer of 2016 by Apostle Larry Henderson Jr. The camp was created as a safe space for kids (and adults) to learn how science and math are intricately interwoven into the creative works of God and are fundamental to the expansion of His Kingdom. The KAC STEAM Academy fosters a culture of critical thinking, learning, and fun for all it's participants. KAC STEAM Leadership Academy exists to provide an environment that will decrease the number of students declining in educational studies and increase the number of well spoken, well read, goal attaining, entrepreneurial minded, science adapted, math conquering, arts loving, designing/creating/building students. To give students many opportunities to find where they exceed and excel, and where they can improve. Also, to provide families with enrichment tools to continue the progress at home of reaching KAC STEAM Leadership Academy together. The Academy will be held year-round within Kingdom Advancement Center, which is located in Elgin, Illinois.
