We underwrite up to two-thirds of the cost of camp so that as many children and adults as possible can benefit from the unique form of therapy we provide. In order to do so, we seek support from the communities we serve and welcome gifts of all sizes.
When you support one of our special events, you will be helping send a child to camp at the same time. Click below to learn more.
