We run summer camp for kids! In a world where kids are more and more distracted by phones and screens, we serve 1200 kids each summer at an overnight summer camp where we focus on the here and now and not the virtual or distant. We do this by creating a space where campers have real experiences with real people where they make real memories and friendships that last a lifetime. This matters.
Through renting our facility and other forms of donations, we already subsidize the camp fees by half, but even with this massive discount, a week of camp is still about $500 per camper. We are looking to offer additional support to families so that money never, ever, ever, keeps a kid from camp. Please donate to our campership program so that you can create a tangible space for these kids to connect.
To raise funds for our campership program we host a “don’t come” fundraiser. Instead of putting on an expensive and wasteful gala where most of the money is used on food and venue, we ask you to donate to camp – but don’t come! – so that a kid can come to camp instead. The overhead on this event is $0 so that all of the money goes to getting kids to camp.
