Camp Friendship is a 30 year old grassroots 501(c)(3) not-for-profit youth service organization whose mission is to provide at-risk youth, from age 5 to 14, with tools, confidence and support to achieve academic success and to become healthy, successful and responsible citizens. Camp Friendship provides comprehensive, year-round programming, transitioning youth from season to season with a combination of team based and center-based activities, in an environment of support and high expectations. Through its programming strategy, Camp Friendship strives to develop cohorts of confident and motivated young people who provide one another with mutual support and positive reinforcement. Youth are provided with a structure that promotes positive values, creates familial ties with the institution, and develops important peer bonds that provide further positive reinforcement. In keeping with Camp Friendship’s mission to serve at-risk youth, all of CF’s programs are priced well below comparable programs in the area. read more >>
