Support Embrace Summer Camps
Help us Embrace Summer! This year, we need your support to make summer camps happen. We were caught off guard when we found out that we would not be receiving some of our core funding for our summer programs due to overall funding cuts. This was reliable funding we have received ever year since Embrace launched in 2017, so it came as a shock.
Don't campers pay fees to come to your program? While campers do pay fees to attend camp, camper fees cover just over 40% of the cost* to run camp. We've always aimed to keep our fees at a similar rate to other general camps running regionally to try to keep the programming accessible.
*This figure is just for the weeks of camp. This does not include work from outside of the camp season, nor any administration costs.
We have been working hard rearranging budgets and roles trying to make camp possible, while still maintaining our 3:1 ratio of staff to campers, and small camp size that is critical to camper experience. And while we've made strides, we're still coming up short.
So this is where you come in! Any donation big or small will make a huge impact for our organization.
Thanks so much!
Warmly,
Tiffany
