Heights Summer Camp has started! Our campus is once again buzzing with the activity, enthusiasm, and creativity of 150 kids. From science experiments to art projects, field trips, and water play, our team is dedicated to providing a safe, fun, and enriching environment for every child. Weekly themes include Welcome Week, All Things Disney, The Arts, Red, White & Blue, Deep Sea, STEM, Christmas in July, and Finale Week.

Campers will venture to places like BIG ARTS, Sun-N-Fun Lagoon, and Marquee Cinemas. Our staff also includes two teens from the Heights Teen Leadership group and six other local teens, all eager to learn, grow, and gain valuable job skills while getting paid. Thank you for making this possible!

Our engaging camp ensures that our community’s most impressionable members are ready to return to school in the fall.

Kids in our summer camp come from the Harlem Heights neighborhood, many from single parent households. Camp allows our parents to know their children are safe and cared for so they can go to work and provide for their families. Our Summer Camp provides a safe, positive environment for Heights kids.

If you would like to support our camp, please consider a gift of $100, $250, or $500. With your help we can add additional kids from our waiting list.

A $1,000 gift will fully fund a child for the whole summer, and you will be a Heights Hero! There are also opportunities to make a larger gift to support multiple children for the summer.

Dear Friends, 

Summer is a tough time for families living in poverty.  Parents have very few options for their kids’ care.  That’s where we come in! Our Summer Camp provides a safe, positive environment for Heights kids.

Activities include fun and educational field trips, art projects, computer and reading programs, and guided recreation.   Our engaging camp ensures that our community’s most impressionable members are ready to return to school in the fall.

Kids in our summer camp come from the severely distressed neighborhood of Harlem Heights, most from single parent households. Camp allows our parents to know their children are safe and cared for so they can go to work and provide for their families.

With your help we can add additional kids from our waiting list.  

Please consider a gift of $100, $250, or $500 in support of the program.  A $1,000 gift will fully fund a child for the whole summer, and you will be a Heights Hero!   There are also opportunities to make a larger gift to support multiple children for the summer.

Sincerely,

Founder, President & CEO
The Heights Foundation
