🏕️ Send a Kid to Camp
Because every child deserves a summer to remember.
Summer camp is more than fun and games—it’s a place where kids build confidence, explore the outdoors, and form lasting friendships. Unfortunately, the cost of camp can be out of reach for many families in Greensboro.
Your support can change that.
✨ What Is Send a Kid to Camp?
Send a Kid to Camp is a Greensboro Parks Foundation initiative that provides need-based scholarships to help local kids attend summer camps through Greensboro Parks and Recreation. With your support, we help families cover registration fees so their children can experience a safe, enriching, and joyful summer.
From arts and crafts to nature exploration, sports to science, every camp experience is an opportunity to grow, discover, and thrive.
“Without this scholarship, I would have had to leave my job for the summer. Instead, my kids got to go to camp and I got to keep working.”
🎯 Why It Matters
- 1 in 3 families in Greensboro lives below the ALICE threshold (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed).
- Greensboro Parks and Recreation serves hundreds of youth every summer across dozens of accessible camp sites.
- Camps are staffed by trained leaders and offer programs focused on wellness, creativity, environmental stewardship, and STEM education.
You can help bridge the gap, ensuring that no child is turned away because of financial hardship.
