Camps For Kids works to assure that no Kansas City area youngster is denied the benefits of summer camp due to medical disability or financial disadvantage. We envision a community that recognizes the unique developmental benefits of the summer camp experience for our children, that organizes to provide sufficient resources, that 'takes care of our own," and that passes this salutary process on to subsequent generations.
Camps for Kids works to assure that no Kansas City area youngster is denied the benefits of summer camp due to medical disability or financial disadvantage.
The Camps for Kids matching funds program directly enabled 3,830 financially challenged and special needs children, who might otherwise have been denied the camp experience, to attend summer camp in 2019. The fundraising generated by our match program was essential to the continued operation of many of the special needs camps in our network. The Camps for Kids matching funds program is a unique opportunity for camps to effectively double their fundraising efforts, leveraging both their donor's gifts and staff/volunteer time. Camps for Kids is not aware of another organization providing this type of support to help assure that no Kansas City area child will be turned away from camp. Camps in the network each have a specific focus, many related to children's health. These include: chronic kidney disease, autism spectrum disorders, spina bifida, cancer, foster care children, bereavement therapy, burn victims, Crohn's and colitis, diabetes, developmental challenges, congenital heart disease, visual impairments, mixed media art, theater, and dance. Many camps have small staffs and utilize volunteers to conduct their activities. Their focus is on providing an outstanding camping experience for the children. Few have dedicated personnel with enough time to raise the needed funds to support the camp's programs. "Without the support of Camps for Kids and the matching fund, CHD Families would be unable to provide a free medically supervised summer camp for kids with Congenital Heart Defects." - Director
