“Summer camp should
be mandatory for a
child: It changes lives.
- Phillip Morris, The Plain Dealer
13. Children who attend camp:
Build confidence, independence and resiliency
Spend their time being physically active
Learn appropriate ways to interact within a community
Enhance their skills and abilities
Make true friends
Expand their own horizons
Learn what a culture of respect and cooperation looks like
14. But you know this. You’ve seen it.
You created it!
It’s all thanks to you...
31. Camp is touching one…
one hundred…
one thousand lives for the better.
32. ”
“Camp is one of the few institutions
where young people can experience
and satisfy their need for physical
activity, creative expression and
true participation in a community
environment. Most schools don’t
satisfy all these needs.
- Peter Scales, Ph.D., a senior fellow with the Search Institute in
Minneapolis, noted educator, author and psychologist
33. Camp is happy children, fulfilled children,
growing children.
Camp is a meaningful purpose.
Camp is why you wake up in the morning.
Camp is your legacy.
