▌ Editor's read The provided URL leads to the City of Buffalo's Say Yes Buffalo Summer Camp webpage, which lists Mount Moriah Baptist Church as one of several community sites offering free summer programming for Buffalo youth. The website does not provide specific details about the camp at Mount Moriah Baptist Church itself, such as staff ratios, specific activities, or background check policies. The program is clearly a day camp, and its owner type is municipal-parks, as it's run by the City of Buffalo. There is no mention of ACA accreditation for this specific program or site. A Google search for 'Mount Moriah Baptist Church Buffalo' shows a 4.8-star rating from 11 reviews, but these reviews are for the church itself, not specifically its summer camp program. The City of Buffalo's Facebook page is 'cityofbuffalo', but no specific Instagram handle for the camp or church's camp was found.
