Bright Futures for Youth’s free and low-cost summer camps will help 400 children build friendships, develop new skills and make lifelong memories
For many families, summer camp is a financial burden. Bright Futures for Youth – thanks to our many donors like you – eases that burden with no- and low-cost summer camps.
More than 400 students will attend Bright Futures for Youth camps this summer, from the NEO GREAT Camp in partnership with the Grass Valley Police Department to The Friendship Club’s getaway camps in Monterey and the nearby mountains. Bright Futures for Youth will again offer our popular Summer Day Camp for five weeks at Deer Creek Elementary in Nevada City.
Each camp helps kids build positive relationships and make new friends in a friendly, fun and supervised environment. The camps are educational, engaging and some are even purpose-driven, with campers giving back to the community.
These academic and life lessons have never been more important after the past three years. Our camps can help children catch-up academically and socially. The camps may prevent the “summer slide,” a well-documented loss of learning of at least a month from the previous school year.
And, for many families, our camps and many workshops all summer long offer something often overlooked – a place where kids can spend several fun hours of constructive time while parents work.
But we can’t do this alone, we need your support. You can help make it possible for hundreds of kids to stay connected and active this summer, enjoy new experiences, gain confidence, and make new friends.
A donation to Bright Futures Youth will give children a summer to remember. If you would like to learn more, please contact Cheryl Rubin at 530-265-4311 ext. 206 or cherylr@bffyouth.org
