About Us

Camps For Kids is a Kansas City based non-profit organization dedicated to helping disabled and disadvantaged youth experience the wonders and the benefits of summer camp. Founded in 1980, Camps For Kids will provide critical funding for 24 Kansas City area camps in 2011. In 2010 the Camps for Kids network of 22 area accredited and licensed rural and inner city camps played host to 7,741 children and youth, 4,935 (64 %) of whom were in need or suffering from physical or developmental disabilities. In 2010, Camps For Kids assisted the camps in its network to raise $202,485. The Camps For Kids Match Fund then added $151,149 to that amount, or an additional 75% to the funds already raised. Participating philanthropies include The Hall Family Foundation, The Sarli Family Foundation, The Edward and Cathrun Mader Foundation, The H&R Block Foundation, The Sprint Foundation, The R.A. Long Foundation, and others. Donate to the Camps For Kids Campaign, and double your money, today!
