LEARN HOW YOU CAN HELP CAMPS FOR KIDS
Dear Friends,
The COVID-19 pandemic presented challenges for all our network camps in 2020 and 2021 and all camps provided in-person camps in 2022 serving over 2500 children and youths continuing to make the unique experience of summer camp available to the special needs and underprivileged communities that we have served since 1981.
By nearly every measure, our children and youth are in distress amid the impact of Covid-19. The value of the camping experience is particularly important for the wellbeing and flourishing of disadvantaged and special needs children and youth given the compounding impact COVID-19 has had on schools, learning, and the social/emotional development of our children over the past several years.
We know kids are learning all the time, our camps provide challenging, enriching learning opportunities for local youth during summer break. Summer overnight camps optimize the school break and offer deep social-emotional wellness, recreational skills, and a variety of educational skills.
Camps For Kids impact does not end with summer. Our camps report that they can serve more kids year-round because of Camps For Kids funding.
It is more important than ever to support organizations that impact all children and families but especially vulnerable ones. Camps For Kids has a continued and heightened role to play and will continue to maximize our impact on the children and families in our community.
As a result, the need for your continued support and funding is greater than ever. Ways you can help:

Thank you for your continued support of Camps For Kids. With you help we can ensure that the special needs children of our community continue to benefit from the life changing opportunities camp provides, and increase the number and diversity of the camps in our network.
Be safe and well,
The Camps For Kids Team
