SCOPE-Summer Camp Opportunities Promote Education

At Camp SAY where they believe every voice matters, the staff focuses on helping kids and teens who stutter develop confidence and independence. We were fortunate to get a glimpse into the supportive and encouraging community that has been created and talked to campers and alumni about the incredible impact camp has had on them.

SCOPE's 67 partner camps are committed to providing a safe, enriching, and engaging environment for their campers.

Yesterday, the SCOPE team visited two partner camps in Upstate NY: Eden Village Camp, a pluralistic Jewish camp grounded in agriculture and a focus on self-worth with no body talk; and Camp Homeward Bound, a camp that serves homeless children with overnight camp programs that include yoga, music, photography, archery, and so much more.

Although our partner camps offer a diversity of programming, they all strive to provide quality camp experiences for all children! Check out more camp visit photos at https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjBwLx1

Our visits to Berkshire Hills Eisenberg Camp and Camp Pontiac illustrated how easily life-long friends are made at summer camp! Children and teens were planning philanthropic efforts, making biscuits at culinary camp, partaking in lakeside theater, and visiting the in-house coffee shop in their summer homes. There was enough camaraderie to remind us of each camp's motto: "Friends for summer, friends for life!" and "Always a friend." Thank you for allowing us to be a part of some of your summer memorable moments!

3 SCOPE Associate Board members, 1 long time SCOPE volunteer and supporter, and 3 SCOPE Staff members explored a new SCOPE Partner Camp for 2024, YMCA Camp Mason! They spent time seeing activities in motion: the high wall, nature, food exploration – including cutting fresh rhubarb from the garden and tasting it for the first time (for many), sports, arts, music, dining hall spirit, and even staff walking the plank. One of their many highlights was hearing camper stories of how important camp is for all children, thus confirming that if they were home, they wouldn't be living so freely amidst friends, in a safe and fun environment.
