Help Send a Kid to Camp 2024
We work hard to keep our summer camp's cost low and its value high, but we need your help. More than 70% of the families we serve live below the poverty line. As food insecurity and poverty rates continue to rise across the Hudson Valley, too many of our neighbors simply can't afford to send their children to camp. Our Summer Camp Scholarship Fund gives kids access to the most fundamental and important things: a safe and stimulating environment, nutritious food, and meaningful friendships.
"When I first got sober six years ago, I was homeless. I had to learn how to be a mom again and slowly rebuild a life for me and Mason. Now I'm a substance abuse counselor who helps women fighting addiction. When I look back on it, I know I would not be where I am today without the Boys & Girls Club.
Day after day, I'm able to show up for local families that are going through what I did. I've excelled in my career and gotten four promotions, and I would not have been able to recover and build a career without knowing that Mason is safe in your care every day. I'm a single mom, so it's just me and Mason. The Club has allowed me to elevate my career, help other local families struggling with addiction, and take care of Mason. Even though I've come so far, I would not be able to send Mason to camp without a scholarship.
The scholarship opportunities that The Club offers make it possible for Mason to have a great summer, and I'm so thankful."
