Creating Opportunities
We Turn Summer Into a Launchpad for Success
For many kids and teens in under-resourced communities, summer isn’t a break—it’s a setback. Without enriching opportunities, they fall behind year after year, making it harder to succeed in school and beyond.
When you level the playing ground of possibility, you give all children new pathways to potential.
SCOPE, a national, nonprofit funder of camp and college scholarships to children and teens from under-resourced communities who commit to staying in school, SCOPE provides access to safe spaces to learn, grow, and discover new possibilities.
From the classroom, to college, and career—summer camp can change everything.
