School may pause for summer, but learning doesn’t have to. Summer doesn’t need to be a season where kids fall behind. ☀️📉

At The Salvation Army, we want summer to be a season where your children leap forward. And we are committed to this statement!

From Summer Sleepaway Camps for a week-long immersive experience that encourages independence and lasting memories, to youth programs and summer music conservatories, The Salvation Army gives children and teenagers a place to learn, play, explore, and stay rooted in community.

We help young minds stay bright.✨

🍩 The Salvation Army Lassies stepped onto the front lines of WWI with one mission: bring comfort where it was most needed.

A warm donut became a reminder that someone cared, and that one act of love has rippled through generations.

Today, hundreds of families across our community find comfort, support, and hope through The Salvation Army.

🍩National Donut Day celebrates kindness that still changes lives.

Summer camp does more than fill long summer days. ☀️♥️ Across the U.S., research shows that campers grow in confidence, build meaningful friendships, and develop a stronger sense of independence and empathy. At Camp Raphannock, children have access to those same growth opportunities at no cost to families. If you are looking for a summer experience that helps your child build skills and friendships, camp is a great place to begin! This American Camp Week, take the next step and contact your local Salvation Army for registration details.
