That’s a wrap on Camp SIBS 2026! ☀️🎥

This summer brought our SIBSKids plenty of opportunities to get out, try new things, spend time together, and just have fun. From special outings to activities right at camp, there was always something happening.

We’re especially grateful to the Marilyn Lichtman Foundation, Nassau County Bar Association WE CARE Fund, Ryan Patrick O’Shea Foundation, Meg-N-Fit, Vulcano 081, Westbury Jeep, Michael Magro Foundation, Long Island Bagel Cafe, The Rockville Links Club, and the Allen Family for helping make it all possible.

A great summer, a strong community, and a lot of great memories made along the way. 💙

A little support can go a long way. 💙

Thanks to the continued generosity of the Nassau County Bar Association WE CARE Fund, our monthly Tween/Teen Nights have given our older SIBS participants a place to connect, talk, decompress, and just be themselves during a challenging time in their lives.

This year, their grant support is also helping fund CampSIBS, which is welcoming a record number of participants this summer. ☀️

We are incredibly grateful to the Nassau County Bar Association WE CARE Fund for continuing to show up for SIBSPlace and for the children and families we serve.

Did you catch our SIBSKids on News 12? 📺🐴

As part of CampSIBS, our kids recently visited HorseAbility in Old Westbury, where they had the opportunity to experience therapeutic riding and spend time learning and connecting with the horses.

AND News 12 Long Island joined us to capture part of the day! We loved seeing our SIBSKids in the spotlight! 💙

A big thank you to HorseAbility for welcoming our campers and helping make this such a memorable Camp SIBS experience.

🥊✨ KNOCKOUT DAY AT CAMP SIBS! ✨🥊

Our SIBS kids had an incredible time stepping into the ring with Megan Griffo for a special boxing class! 💪

From learning new skills to building confidence and cheering each other on, it was a fun-filled day full of energy, laughter, and teamwork.

❤️ THANK YOU, MEG! Your generosity packed a punch in the very best way, and we’re so grateful you shared your time, enthusiasm, and encouragement with our campers. Experiences like this create memories our SIBS kids will carry with them long after summer ends.

👏 Thank you for being part of our Camp SIBS family!

A day of learning, creating, and exploring! 🔬✨

Our Camp SIBSKids had a wonderful time visiting the New York Hall of Science, where they rolled up their sleeves for hands-on activities and enjoyed discovering something new together.

Smiles, laughter, and memories made—that’s what Camp SIBS is all about. 💙

☀️🎨 CAMP SIBS 2026 IS UNDERWAY!

And we’re starting the summer with some very generous support from Westbury Jeep!

Their $2,500 donation, along with a generous donation of art supplies, will directly support Camp SIBS and the weeks ahead. We are incredibly grateful that Westbury Jeep chose to support our SIBSKids and recognize the importance of continuing our work throughout the summer. 💛

When school is out, the need for consistency and support doesn’t take the summer off. Camp SIBS keeps our kids connected with counselors and social workers while making plenty of room for art, activities, field trips, friendships—and, of course, summer fun.

Community support makes Camp SIBS possible, and we are grateful to have Westbury Jeep helping us make this summer a strong one for our SIBSKids.

Thank you to News 12 Long Island for shining a light on Camp SIBS and helping more people learn about the work that continues at SIBSPlace throughout the summer! ☀️
