It’s time to help send kids in need to mountain camps!

The Press-Telegram Send-a-Kid-to-Camp campaign, launched in 1999, 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.

Less than two hours from anywhere in the Los Angeles/Orange County basin, campers enjoy the relaxing scents of the pine forest while taking part in many amazing adventures.

Your tax-deductible financial contribution can help provide a child the opportunity to learn and grow during a week-long camp experience.
