In 2020, College Settlement launched several initiatives in order to serve the community. Over the course of the Summer and Fall, we carefully opened the camp to small family groups to participate in on-site camp programs. As the school year approached we learned that many families would be keeping their young students at home to learn online. So, for the first time in our history, we decided to open an Academic Engagement Camp to assist children of essential employees with their virtual learning. As always, we offered financial assistance to every single family that needed it this year. That’s why your support is essential to our success. Your gift brings children to the Camps at College Settlement.
We can’t wait to see a camp full of kids next year!
As we come to the end of 2020, on behalf of the board and staff here at Camp, I would like to wish you and your family a safe Holiday Season. Thank you for considering an end-of-the-year gift to College Settlement. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
New best friends, Nevaeha and Lilly met this school year atCollege Settlement’s Academic Engagement Camp.
“I feel like it gave her a school-like setting rather than sitting at home in her room all day. Since she has been in the program, she’s been exposed to the outdoors and nature, which is a good thing that she loves. And that the staff has been so welcoming and helpful.” - Nevaeha's Mom
“From the moment we drove onto the camp property, both Lilly and I felt at ease and knew this would be a great place to be! The counselors assisted Lilly each day with her school work and made sure that all her online assignments were complete. They also made sure she had lots of fun and also learned many things that she would not have learned in “regular school,” like how to pick a sweet potato, how to pick up and hold a live chicken, and how to enjoy nature and all that it has to offer!” - Lilly's Mom
