We’re grateful to the Community Foundation of Middlesex County for grant support that helped make Bushy Hill Day Camp more accessible to local children and families this summer.

Funding supported our camp scholarship program as well as summer youth camp activities, with additional support made possible by the generosity of the M. Jones Family Fund at the Community Foundation of Middlesex County.

Thank you to CFMC and its donors for helping more children spend their summers learning, exploring, building friendships, and connecting with the natural world.
