The picture says it all about our impact! By donating to the John Austin Cheley Foundation, you are helping make the summer camp experience available to approximately 100 underserved youth each year. We invest in the cost of tuition, travel and equipment for the lifespan of a camper's eligibility at camp, which averages close to $5,000.00 per camper. And, by donating on GivingTuesday, December 1, your gift is eligible to be maximized through $5,000.00 in matching funds for every new dollar (new or increased donation) contributed.
Residential, nature-based summer camp programs help youth grow and develop in ways that prime them for future success. A growing body of reseach indicates that summer camps foster the outcomes of teamwork, independence, affinity for nature, perceived competence, problem-solving, responsibility and interest in exploration. These evidence-based outcomes mirror many of the necessary skills that have been identified as critical for today's youth to thrive in a world in which change is constant and learning never stops. It's why our tagline reads, "Because Camps Matters."
Join us in sharing our campaign with your friends, family and connections and by donating now through December 1, 2015 to remove the barriers for underserved youth to this life-changing opportunity. For more information, go to our website at www.cheleyfoundation.org.
