FW: Summer camp funding guideline changes

Subject: Summer camp funding guideline changes

 

 

We've changed our funding guidelines for summer camp   What's changing? Effective for summer 2017 camp requests, Rise Above will only fund requests for specialty summer camps for youth; that is, camps that focus on a child's strengths or interests or meet a special need of a youth. Most general day camps offered through towns/cities and community organizations will now fall outside of this new guideline.   Since specialty camps tend to be more expensive, it is unlikely Rise Above will fund more than 1-2 weeks of specialty camp per youth.   As is the case with all requests made to Rise Above, we ask that camp requests are submitted at least 1 month before the date funds are due. However, keep in mind that specialty camps tend to fill-up much more quickly than traditional day camps, and registration opens much earlier in the winter/spring.   What's considered a specialty camp? Specialty camps address the needs of children who have strengths or interests in a particular area. They offer focused programs which enable a youth to learn and develop new skills while interacting with other youth with the same interests. For example: camps that concentrate on a sport, dance, computer, math or theater, or offer a traditional outdoor skills with overnight experience. Need help finding a specialty camp that's a good match for a youth? Contact us for ideas!   Why is it changing? As the volume of summer camp requests we receive increases, it's important to us to remain true to our mission and to ensure as many youth as possible receive support from Rise Above. It's our goal to give youth experiencing foster care the opportunity to participate in activities they choose and that help them pursue a talent or interest or give them the chance to participate an extra-special opportunity.  I still have a question! Shoot us an email at info@weriseabove.org or give us a call: 855-246-8850. We're always happy to chat!
