Help Send Kids to Camp fundraising campaign raises funds to ensure that no child is left on the waitlist for camp this summer. Thanks to the generous matching sponsor, Skyline, all donations* made between April 7-25 (*up to $25,000) will be matched, helping double the impact and double the fun for local kids this summer!
The Children's Foundation has reached 60% of their goal of sending 500 kids to camp this summer – so let’s keep the momentum going!
GMHA and SEND A KID TO CAMP
The Send a Kid to Camp program, powered by the Children’s Foundation, gives children the opportunity to experience the joy, growth, and lifelong memories of summer camp. These experiences promote confidence, friendship, and independence in a safe and supportive environment.
At GMHA, we proudly support this initiative because we believe every child deserves the chance to explore, learn, and play—regardless of their circumstances. Camp is more than fun and games; it’s an investment in a child’s future.
We encourage you to join us in making a difference. Your donation can help give a child an unforgettable summer. You can also show your support by heading to childrensfoundation.org/kidstocamp to donate.
Together, we can send more kids to camp—and open the door to a brighter tomorrow.
Here is some information and stats around camp:
- Last year, Free to Grow provided funding for over 350 kids to attend summer camp
- On average, through the Children’s Foundation, it costs $200 to send 1 child to camp for a week
- Summer camp provides opportunities for children and youth to try new activities and hobbies which can help them discover new interests and passions
- A study published by the Journal of Experiential Education found that summer camp can help children develop social skills and increase self-esteem
- Camp provides kids with a break from screen time and other digital distractions,allowing them to connect with nature and the world around them.
