  • Join us in supporting the transformational experience of Lincoln summer camp for children and youth impacted by poverty. Your donation will send kids to a Lincoln Families Summer Camp enrichment program engaging youth in skill mastery, health and fitness, and exposure to nature. Since 2003, Lincoln has delivered summer camp programming to low-income youth, the vast majority of whom have little or no access to such opportunities.

    The students Lincoln serve have experienced trauma and other significant stressors that impact school performance as well as home and community life. During the school year, Lincoln's staff work in district schools with children who lack access to summer enrichment opportunities or are excluded due to behavioral issues. These are the children for whom five weeks of academic enrichment, health and fitness, and exposure to nature in a camp setting benefit the most. Because county and district contracts do not fund camp programming, support from you as a community leader is essential in providing this critical summer opportunity for low-income children and youth. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to kids in our community.
