Ways to Give

Camp Kodiak is a residential summer camp for children & teens with and
without Learning Disabilities, NLD, ADHD and Asperger Syndrome. Because of
our 2-to-1 ratio, professional staff and specialized programs, our fees need
to be quite substantial to cover our costs. We do what we can to help, but
every year we have to turn away deserving campers whose parents are unable
to pay our fees. We really appreciate the assistance provided to these
families by Kids in Camp.

Camp Walden is both honoured and proud to be involved with Kids In Camp. We so appreciate the funding that Kids In Camp has been able to provide to members of our camp community. These funds have helped to make camp possible for campers who would otherwise not have been able to attend. Furthermore, we proudly support Kids In Camp knowing that our contributions are going to such a worthwhile cause. We believe so strongly in the value of summer camp for kids, and the way in which it benefits their social and emotional growth; as such, it is so fulfilling to be able to contribute to and be a part of a cause that is so near and dear to our hearts.

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.
