Summer Camp Application Program

The Summer Camp Application Program is particularly focused on the alleviation of human suffering and to the extent a summer camp program services children who are unable to attend most other camps due to special needs (such as a camp specialized for children who received a heart transplant). We are also looking for programming that promotes STEM, advanced learning and leadership, provides tuition assistance to children from under-performing schools or impoverished communities, reduces summer learning loss by providing high-quality learning instruction (particularly in math) by trained staff and have a low camper to counselor ratio, or incorporates academic enrichment activities as a part of the camp programming to reduce summer learning loss.
