SCOPE provides children from under-resourced communities with overnight summer camp scholarships How does SCOPE work?
1.

SCOPE (Summer Camp Opportunities Promote Education) provides children from underserved communities with life changing opportunities through the experience of summer camp. SCOPE helps fund camp scholarships “camperships” to send children who commit to staying in school to nonprofit, resident camps which will empower them to develop to their full potential. SCOPE reinforces the connection between academic achievement and the enriched recreational and social educational experiences at summer camp. By making a long-term commitment to our SCOPE campers, we seek to inspire and empower them to succeed as individuals and make a positive impact on their families and in their home communities. SCOPE campers are children who are enrolled in public school or public charter school (ages 7 – 16) and qualify for the USDA Free or Reduced Lunch Program. They attend nonprofit, resident camps in the New York/Tri-State area, Midwest, Southeast, and Southwest. SCOPE raises funds from foundations, businesses, individual gifts and fundraising events

2. SCOPE allocates funds to participating SCOPE camps to provide camp scholarships

3. Participating camps enroll campers; campers are selected in partnership with public schools, public charter schools, and community agencies

4. SCOPE campers make a commitment to stay in school in order to return to camp summer after summer

5. SCOPE campers who graduate from high school will be eligible for a college scholarship

One last partner camp visit to close out an incredible summer💙🏕️

One of the best parts of the summer is getting to step onto the grounds of our partner camps, spend time with their communities, and see camp in action. Each visit is a reminder of just how special these places are and why creating access to summer camp matters so much.

To all of the SCOPE partner camps who welcomed us this summer, and everyone who joined us along the way, thank you for making this summer one to remember. We loved every visit. 💙

Until next summer! ⛺️

Mahjong and Canasta were favorites around the tables at camp this summer, and now it’s your turn to play while helping create more of those summer experiences for children and teens from under-resourced communities.

Join us on Monday, October 5 at Old Oaks Country Club for an afternoon of Mahjong, Canasta, community, and giving back. Every hand played helps create access to life-changing summer camp experiences through SCOPE.

It starts with a summer 💙

A new experience
A new challenge
A new sense of confidence

Through SCOPE, these moments grow into something bigger, creating access, expanding opportunity, and shaping a path from camp and beyond.

What happens at camp does not stay at camp.

Happy ! 💙

At camp, kindness is something children can feel: a warm welcome, a helping hand, a new friendship, and the confidence that comes from knowing they belong.

At SCOPE, kindness also means creating access to overnight summer camp for children and teens from under-resourced communities, so more young people have the opportunity to build confidence, form lasting friendships, and discover what is possible.

Today, we’re celebrating the compassion, inclusion, and connection that make camp so meaningful, and everyone who helps make this moments possible.

Because every child deserves to feel welcomed, supported, and included at camp!

Summer camp visits are one of our favorite traditions.

Through our Teen Talks, we connect with campers, share SCOPE’s mission, and inspire the next generation of supporters to help pave the path to camp and beyond for children from under-resourced communities.

We’re great to every camp that has welcomed us so far. Here’s to many more visits this summer! 💜
