💙 Camp Smiles Community — we’re asking for your support for someone who has supported us year after year. 💙

Kevin, a member of the Swampfox Bassmasters and one of Camp Smiles’ biggest supporters every summer, is currently facing a difficult recovery journey. The Swampfox Bassmasters have always shown up for our campers with generosity, kindness, and support, and now it’s our turn to rally around one of their own.

If you are able, please consider donating, sharing, or keeping Kevin and his family in your thoughts and prayers during this time. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps bring hope and healing.

What a day! 💙

Thank you to everyone who made our Camp Smiles Annual 5K such a success—our incredible volunteers, runners, supporters, and sponsors. Even with the rain, the energy, joy, and sense of community never slowed down. Because of you, we’re able to continue our mission of sending children with special abilities to summer camp, and that means everything to us.

A special thank you to Simply Timing for keeping us on track (and on time!) while bringing such great spirit to the race, and to Ainsley's Angels of America Family for joining us and running alongside our campers. We are so proud to partner with an organization that shares our heart for this amazing community.

And of course, a huge thank you to our generous sponsors: King Construction Services, Inc., HTCincsc - Your Local Internet Provider, King Residential Services, Imagination Athletics, Jenkins Signs, The Carver Law Firm, LLC, and D&S Sitework—we couldn’t do this without your support.

We are so grateful for each and every one of you—and we’re already counting down to next year! 🏃‍♀️💙

Snow in Horry County?! Now that’s something worth smiling about! ☃️ Whether your campers are out building snowmen, sledding, making snow angels, or staying cozy inside with hot cocoa, we want to see it all.

📸 Drop your snow day photos in the comments so we can celebrate the fun together, or tell us your favorite way to spend a snowy day if you’re bundled up indoors!

Days like this remind us that joy can be found in the most unexpected moments; and we love sharing those moments with our Camp Smiles family. 💙💛💚 Stay safe, stay warm, and keep smiling!
