Help send a child to camp this summer
This season, more than 30 neighborhood kids are enrolled in the Hampden Family Center’s enrichment camp. Over the six-week session our campers will be participating in music, art, dance, field trips around town, and more. They will also conquer fears, make new friends, and develop leadership skills instead of spending their days in front of computers and televisions or on cell phones.
Camp is a wonderful opportunity for children to grow, develop new skills, and build a sense of community for themselves. We believe this is an experience every child deserves. Unfortunately, it is not always an opportunity that every family can afford.
Through the generosity of individuals and grant funds we can provide camperships. Please help ensure that as many children as possible can enroll in camp this summer by donating today. Your gift will make a noticeable difference in a child’s life and ultimately, in our community.
Another way to support our campers
In addition to a monetary donation, you can support our campers by making a purchase from our Amazon Wishlist. Thank you!
