🏕️ Help send a child to camp, and make an impact they won’t forget.

For many children, summer camp is more than just a few days away from home. It’s a chance to try something new, build confidence, make friends, experience independence, and create memories that can last a lifetime.

Through Michigan CEC’s Campership Program, donations help provide scholarships for students with disabilities to attend summer camp, and $250 can fund one full campership scholarship!

Every donation, no matter the amount, helps us give more kids the opportunity to experience everything camp has to offer. 💚

📱 Scan the QR code or text MCECCampership to 44-321 to donate.

Your gift can help create a summer a child will never forget. 🏕️❤️
