Because of Camp...™
Video | Print
How the camp experience has changed lives is one of the most powerful benefits of camp. Camp, and the experiences of camp, defines us even as adults. Camp has touched many lives, introduced people to new passions, and broadened horizons.

The Change a Life Fund is an opportunity to give directly to the many children who will benefit from the camp experience but whose families may not otherwise be able to afford either day camp or resident camp for their children.

 

Ready, Set, Camp
Includes footage of a diversity of children engaging in camp programs nationwide.

 

Camps with a "Can Do" Attitude
Highlights children with special needs engaging in camp programs, enjoying themselves, and trying things that some thought they would never have the opportunity to try.
