Donating to Organizations that Make Summer Camp Happen!
Will the well run dry when it comes to providing free and discounted
scholarships to the growing number of summer time campers? Doesn't appear
that way! That's good because going to summer camp is an experience that
all children should be able to partake in. With
private camps being as expensive as they are, you'd figure that only
a small percentage of kids and teens get to go. However, some of these
camps offer a limited number of scholarships
and/or financial aid. Non-profit camps, like religiously based ones
or agency run camps are more prolific than privately run summer camps.
These camps depend largely on donations.
Camp program donations
Thanks to the continuous generosity of public and private donations,
children from all economic backgrounds have the opportunity to go to camp
if they want to. This includes children with special needs. National organizations
like the YMCA have local chapters throughout the country. The YMCA
has been promoting camping since 1885 and is a great example of an organization
that been raising money to, as their logo says, "build strong kids,
strong families, and strong communities."
Many donations for summer camp are made from camp alumni or those involved
with youth. Thanks to the continuing support for camps, it seems that
this American institution will continue to provide an educational and
empowering experience for kids, youth and teens.
