How can I donate?
The Summer Camp Fund is only successful with the donations of individual supporters. A small contribution can make a huge impact on the life of a low-income child.
Send donations to: The Summer Camp Fund, P.O. Box 37269, Charlotte, NC 28237-7269
The Summer Camp Fund is a partnership between POST & The Charlotte Observer to increase the opportunities that summer camps provide for low-income children to experience the outdoors during the summer months.
