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.

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!
