MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of our Camps Rock Foundation is to provide all children the opportunity to attend summer camps. We are specifically focused on children who have experienced financial hardships, discrimination, disabilities, or life events that have been challenging. Attending camp enables children to develop social, emotional, and cognitive skills, fostering independence, friendship, exploration of interests, and teaching valuable life lessons such as resilience and leadership.

VISION STATEMENT

A world where every child has the opportunity to experience the life-changing benefits of summer camp!

Do Camps Help Kids Grow?

YES, YES THEY DO !!!

Personal resources and resources of the sociocultural environment help children and adolescents to successfully cope with challenges in everyday life, which is associated with better individual well-being. SCOUT, the ‘Study on Competence development in OUT-of-school settings’, investigated whether participation in a summer camp enhanced adolescents’ personal resources, well-being, and readiness to contribute to the community.

ABSOLUTELY !!!

A new American Camp Association (ACA) study highlights the lasting impacts of camp and the ways that quality camp experiences support young people in developing valuable skills, learning who they are, and preparing for life beyond camp. The National Camp Impact Study, which looks at data gathered between 2017 and 2022, includes both youth and staff research and is the first longitudinal study of its kind.

YES, YES THEY DO !!!

Youth need opportunities to try new things, feel successful, and develop meaningful relationships with others. Summer camp (henceforth, “camp”) is an out-of-school-time youth development setting that is often associated with meeting these developmental needs of youth (Garst et al., 2011). Camp programs vary in focus and activities (e.g., STEM, outdoor skills, watersports, generalist),
