Your Donations at Work
In 2024, we were able to use individual donations to:
- Send 76 children to camp throughout the summer for free or at a heavily reduced cost through the camp sponsorship program.
- Cover a portion of the cost for day and overnight school field trips. Keeping the cost of these trips affordable for local families.
Continuing our work in 2025, we need your support to:
- Increase camper
sponsorships in order to meet the needs of every child who wants to come to
camp. - Provide overnight summer
camping opportunities for children who cannot afford such an experience. - Create free and reduced
cost school experiences for Title 1 schools throughout the Delaware Valley. - Cover the immense cost of
caring for and maintaining the 600 beautiful camp acres and over 40 structures
located at Paradise Farm Camps.
