A Message from Mike
Last month, I talked about giving youth purpose. This month, as flowers bloom and we think about Summer, let’s talk about camp. Summer camps are an incredible opportunity for those able to attend. You get to meet new people, try new activities, create new friendships and identity, and get a chance, at an early age, to practice leadership. This summer, as kids emerge from another challenging year of school, please consider how you can help youth in your community participate in these valuable experiences. Please see our partner, the American Camp Association for more information on how to offer your support to camps.
