Send a Kid to Camp.

Our 10-week summer program creates a safe, structured place for kids to learn, play, and grow—but it comes with real needs. Field trips are a highlight, giving kids access to new experiences ranging from educational visits to the science center to fun activities like swimming and skating, with each trip costing between $310 and $820.

In addition, there is one week during the summer when we must fully provide meals and snacks for the children, at an approximate cost of
$1,000 per meal. Your support helps make these moments possible, ensuring every child can participate, explore, and simply enjoy being a kid.

Sponsor a Field Trip for Kids

Your gift helps sponsor a field trip, giving kids the chance to discover new places, learn outside the classroom, and see a world beyond their neighborhood.
 

Sponsor a Meal

During our 10-week summer program, children spend full days with us—from early morning to late afternoon—and for many, the meals they receive here are some of the most consistent and nutritious they’ll have all day. Your gift helps feed 180 kids.
 

Sponsor a Child's Summer

A $600 scholarship provides a child with a full summer of safe, enriching programming at The Salvation Army’s Ken Carlson Red Shield Youth Center.
