Mention summer camp, and visions of swimming, arts & crafts and maybe the ubiquitous chocolate marshmallow sandwich come to mind. Summer camp means so much more, especially for the children of Circle clients.
To date this year, 104 children have been awarded Summer Opportunity camperships. The nearly $13,500 in camperships cover admission to summer enrichment of the child’s choice. Swim lessons? Absolutely! Baseball? Sure! Music lessons, cooking classes, theater or chess camp? Yes!
These camps provide instruction and play, but they offer even more. By engaging children in extra activities in the summer, they tend to remain intellectually engaged between school years, learn lifelong skills, build social connections, bolster self-esteem and resiliency and much more. And parents benefit by sending their children safely to camp, easing summer day care costs, and knowing their child is experiencing all that summer can offer.
Life stories are written at summer camp. Thank you for helping to write those of our Circle kids!
Both our Scholarship program and our Summer Opportunity camperships give young people the chance to pursue their interests and expand their view of what life can hold. Will you consider bolstering those two programs with a donation today?
