How YOU Unlock their potential at Camp!

Whether you provide scholarship assistance, supplies for campers, or funding for DEI work, we need support from donors like YOU to ensure every child can build relationships, achieve goals, and find a place they truly belong...at camp.

Camp is a place where kids make lifelong friends, gain independence, try new things, learn to work and live with others, and get outside—all while being supported by amazing role models!

Your donation sends kids to camp and ensures camp will be around for generations. Please make a gift today to our 2025 campaign.

Give what you can, and invite others to join you by sharing this giving page through your social media and email communications.

These kids will change the world. We can help them. Big Camp Clap to all our supporters!
