Summer Camp Opportunities - FREE


There is $30,000.00 left for Summer Camp scholarships for FOSTER FAMILIES. 
 
Camp is a great experience for the Foster Children.

There are a number of different camps to consider . . . 
     Camp To Belong for siblings that do not live together
Crossroad For Kids
YMCA there is a lot of good SC out
Soccer Camps
Manchester Athletic Club
Horseback Riding Camp

Please take advantage of this service.

One specific opportunity is through the Jason Hayes Foundation.  This scholarship has the following requirements:

The first set of criteria for a candidate is that (1) they had been or or in the foster care system, but we also recognize that there are some children who fall through the cracks (ie., children being raised by grandparents, etc and we will consider these applications also; and/or (2) the camp is a therapeutic placement for a child with social-emotional needs.    Obviously children who fit both criteria will be given preference, but we have been granting scholarships to those who fit just 1.

 

Applications can be downloaded and either emailed or mailed from www.jasonhayesfoundation.org
