Press Telegram’s Send-a-Kid-to-Camp Fund
Launched in 1999, The Long Beach Press Telegram’s Send-a-Kid-to-Camp Fund has resulted in hundreds of children reveling in the unique experience of attending a week-long summer camp. For many of these young people, the camping experience is life-changing. The mountain camps are run by the agencies we call the Big Five: Boy & Girls Clubs, Boy Scouts, Camp Fire, Girl Scouts, and YMCA.
