Camp Overview
We are a non-profit that serve children who otherwise would not have an opportunity to attend summer camp from Kalamazoo County, Michigan based on need - whether financial, social or emotional. Our campers are provided everything that they will need during camp and do not need to bring anything to attend. While campers are here they are given the chance to be outdoors, play, try new activities, learn to swim, have fun and meet new people. All of this helps to build the camper's self-esteem, independence, skills, and ability to care for others.
