Events that help more kids get to camp

Our events help raise money for kids whose families can’t afford the full cost of summer camp.

Some people donate. Some volunteer. Some sponsor an event or help spread the word. However people show up, it all helps more children get the chance to go to camp.

A compass, maps, notebook, and navigation tools arranged on a tabletop symbolize planning and adventure for family fundraising events that help send more children to summer camp.

Why Our Events Matter

Every event supports the mission

These events unite people around the idea that kids should be able to enjoy summer camp, even when money is tight at home.

You help make camp possible for a child who may not have had the chance otherwise when you:

  • Show up

  • Donate

  • Volunteer

  • Sponsor

  • Share the mission

And sometimes, one small event helps create a summer they remembers for years.

A summer can change more than a schedule

Camp is the first real time away from home for many kids.

It may be the first time they try activities they have never tried before or even feel part of a group.

That means a lot to them. Camp can help them feel braver, more independent, and more open to new challenges. Those feelings stay with them long after summer ends.
