There are many ways you can help our local students prepare for the start of their academic career and ensure that all students are on a level playing field for that all-important first day of school.
SPREAD THE WORD - If you know a family with a child preparing for kindergarten this year, particularly if they haven't had a chance to send their child to preschool, let them know about KinderCamp.
VOLUNTEER - Help welcome families to the KinderCamp program on orientation night or participate in the end-of-program "bridging over" ceremony. Volunteer opportunities will be posted on Volunteer Hub in the coming weeks.
DONATE - Although the program is provided for free to families, the estimated cost per student is about $800, which includes transportation, teacher and staff salaries, facility costs, teaching supplies, meals, the "bridging over" event, and literacy kits given to every participating family so they can help their children continue to learn throughout the summer. You can donate here!
SUPPLY DRIVE - Be a KinderCamp Champ during our Annual Campaign & Community Impact Celebration on March 27, where we'll be holding a KinderCamp supply drive. Please consider bringing white copy paper, color markers, sheet protectors, tissue boxes, Clorox wipes, "googly" eyes, wooden clothespins, and stickers of any kind.
