Camp impact
Why camp matters
A summer at camp can build confidence, independence, resilience, and belonging. For many families, the barrier is not whether camp would help. It is whether camp is financially possible in the first place.
TSCBF helps close that gap through need-based bursaries that lower the cost for families and, in many cases, allow a child to return over multiple summers.
Impact of giving
How your donation helps
Core bursary funding
Donations help cover the remaining portion of camp fees after a participating camp reduces its fee and a family contributes what it can. That is the direct path from a gift to a summer at camp.
Multi-year continuity
Support is designed to continue for returning campers who remain eligible, helping camp become a stable part of a young person's life.
Low-overhead impact
Because TSCBF is volunteer-run, the overwhelming majority of gifts go directly to the mission rather than administrative overhead.
