Mission Statement
SCOPE (Summer Camp Opportunities Promote Education) A national, nonprofit funder of overnight summer camp and college scholarships creating pathways to potential through Camp, Classroom, College, and Career for children and teens from under-resourced communities who commit to staying in school.
About This Cause
SCOPE (Summer Camp Opportunities Promote Education) is a national nonprofit organization, funding camp and college scholarships. Since 1991 SCOPE's mission has been centered around providing equal summer experiences for all children. With over 65 nonprofit partners offering healthy, safe, fun and experiential opportunities for children at resident camps throughout the US, SCOPE has made these experiences financially accessible for children from low-income families and under resourced communities' summer after summer. Each child's campership provides access to attend between one and two weeks of resident camp at one of our American Camp Association (ACA) accredited, nonprofit, SCOPE partner camps. With four regions throughout the country; Northeast, Midwest, Southeast and Southwest, with 30+ years of efforts, SCOPE has provided close to 30,000 camperships to children of low-income families and under-resourced communities to attend overnight camp. Giving the children we help to serve the chance to step outside the boundaries of their neighborhood to explore safe and new opportunities at summer camp. Each child's commitment to stay in school allows them eligibility to attend camp the following summer. With this continued dedication to staying in school and camp, SCOPE Northeast campers are then eligible to apply for SCOPE scholarship support to help them with their college education. SCOPE has a well-deserved, positive national reputation for efficiently and effectively raising funds in order for all children to reap the educational, social and emotional benefits of a high-quality summer camp experience. Funds SCOPE raises go directly to camperships, so the more support SCOPE receives, the more children are able to attend camp. For decades, academic research has endorsed the importance of summer camp for children. For too many children, however, that opportunity is out of reach. With SCOPE support we hope to remove these boundaries and help provide the children we serve with positive, life-changing camp opportunities.
