Send a kid to camp logo

The Arizona Daily Star’s Sportsmen’s Fund Send a Kid to Camp program raises money so children from low-income households and military families can attend overnight YMCA, Boy Scout and Girl Scout camps for little or no cost to their families.

Summer camps have wrapped up. We received 1,436 donations totaling $163,527 toward this year’s goal of raising $202,500.

Several of today’s donations are in memory of Bess Wing, who died June 9.
