Summer camp is an essential component of the year-round educational continuum and plays a critical role in helping children from under resourced communities to thrive. SCOPE bridges the opportunity gap by funding camp scholarships for children from financially disadvantaged families to attend overnight summer camp. SCOPE was established for one simple reason, to provide summer camp opportunities to ALL children, regardless of socio-economic background. Children who receive SCOPE camperships gain access to attend overnight summer camp throughout the United States, free of cost to their family. Camp teaches life skills that encourage children to reach their potential long after summer camp has ended. 100% of the children receiving SCOPE camperships commit to staying in school. HOW SCOPE WORKS: ACTIVATE: Through generous donations, sponsorships, and fundraisers, SCOPE raises funds for summer camp scholarships. ALLOCATE: SCOPE distributes funds to more than 40 ACA-accredited, nonprofit overnight camps across the United States. ACCOMPLISH: SCOPE campers learn new skills and develop a sense of independence from the magical experience of overnight summer camp.
