Dear Camp Fire Community,
Recent data shows that our youth are becoming more socially and emotionally isolated. Screen time is impacting everything from their physical activity to their communication skills to their ability to successfully resolve conflicts.
Kids need camp. This holiday season, support Camp Fire kids and help them develop critical life skills and get outside and connected to nature!
This past summer was my second at the helm of Camp Sealth and I have witnessed firsthand the impact that our camps have on kids. In addition to serving a record number of kids in our camping programs, I am proud to share that over 98% felt included and safe in our camps.
Your gift today shows that you believe in organizations, like Camp Fire, who provide safe spaces for all youth.
- Camp transforms lives. It develops lifelong skills like teamwork, communication, problem solving, and leadership.
- Camp develops independence by being away from home and discovering self-identity and self-reliance.
- Camp develops resiliency. It is a safe place to learn to overcome challenges and fosters growth.
- Camp fosters friendships, connecting kids from different backgrounds, abilities and experiences.
Your gift today supports our work in teaching youth these valuable life skills.
With inflation continuing to climb, more families are struggling to be able to afford camp. Over the past four years, we have provided 50% more money in financial assistance but our need keeps growing.
Our families need your help today to send their kids to camp. Make your year-end gift by December 31st.
Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy holiday season,
Omar Malik
Director of Camping
