Ways to Give

Every year at YWCA Camp Tapawingo, we have many conversations with parents who would desperately love to be able to send their daughter to camp. I talked to one parent today who expressed it better than I can:” I want to be able to provide my daughter with one thing that makes her feel good when so much in her life is sad.”

It was such a privilege for me to be able to make the phone call last spring to another parent and say that we had some funding to help Sydney go to camp. The relief in her mother’s voice was very real. The experience Sydney had was important not just at the time but as a talisman all year – to hold on to her memories and look with anticipation to another summer of fun and being a kid.

Thank you to Kids In Camp in helping us provide this extraordinary experience to kids who just need time to be a kid, to feel good about themselves and to stretch their wings.

Support from Kids In Camp for our subsidy program has been a tremendous help. Knowing that we are supported by a foundation that focuses on giving kids a camp experiences makes KIC’s contributions extremely meaningful. Thank you for helping us make a difference in the lives of our campers!

We were thrilled to find out about Kids in Camp at last year’s OCA Conference. There were a couple of families that came to mind. We found the process to be simple and certainly the flexibility and patience you exhibited to us as we ‘learned the ropes’ was no less than wonderful.
We look forward to a long partnership in providing the rich camping experience for children who would otherwise be unable to experience the unique opportunity that camp provides to be outside in nature and away from the electronic environment that they are so often immersed in and to interact with other children face to face in positive ways and with positive role models. Thank you Kids in Camp.
