About the Campaign

We believe every child should get to experience summer camp—an opportunity to learn, explore, grow, and discover their passion! We provide that experience for campers every summer at Boys & Girls Clubs of Harford & Cecil Counties.

But for some kids in our communities, summer means no access to recreational or educational activities because of the cost. Parents consistently cite summer as the most difficult time to ensure their children are safe and engaged in productive activities- but thousands of families can’t afford summer camps.

Why does summer camp matter?

Summer learning loss occurs when youth fail to retain what they learned during the previous academic year, returning to school at a lower level than when they left.

Studies show that most youth lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in math and reading skills over the summer, but youth from low-income households experience even greater loss.

At Boys & Girls Clubs, we implement a program called Summer Brain Gain that’s designed to promote and sustain learning in youth of all ages during the summer. Through high-quality instruction, smaller group sizes, engaging programming and content aligned with school-year curricula, summer camp gives youth access to educational resources, support for learning and retaining academic content.

Ensuring all kids have the same opportunities

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Harford & Cecil Counties offer a financial assistance program to help families send their child(ren) to camp. Join us in our mission to give the best summer ever to as many of our community children as possible, regardless of their families’ financial position.
