Philanthropic Camps

Creating a culture of philanthropy at camp provides the entire camp community with an opportunity to be a part of something bigger than yourself. With a captive camp-passionate audience, camps create philanthropic opportunities that fit within their existing programs to create initiatives that help to provide the gift of summer camp through SCOPE.

Summer Strides4SCOPE

SCOPE partners with camps to engage, educate and activate their campers, staff, and camp families to help less fortunate children gain access to similar camp experiences their camp provides.

Strides4SCOPE can be as creative as you’d like! Other activities include: Camp Carnival, Canteen Fund Donations, Car/Golf Cart Wash, Family Fun Day, Gaga Tournament, Staff Tournaments, Smores4SCOPE and so much more! Contact our SCOPE team to get started.

SCOPE Philanthropic Camp of the Year

This prestigious annual recognition is given to one summer camp in celebration of their generous commitment to SCOPE. The SCOPE Board of Directors nominates and votes on a camp whose contributions to SCOPE throughout the year are influential beyond the borders of summer.

At Coleman Country, SCOPE is a big part of our culture. We’ve worked hard and we’ve done a lot of great events. Everything from TikTok challenges, our annual SCOPE Fun Run, to an alumni gaga tournament. If you have not yet done a Stride for SCOPE event at your camp, this is your summer.

– Ross Coleman, Owner/Director of Coleman Country Day Camp

The SCOPE Philanthropic Camp of the Year Award demonstrates meaningful progress toward fundraising and community involvement in support of SCOPE.
