Summer camp is more than a summer away from home.

At camp, children are forced to step out of their comfort zones. They are given the ability to explore the natural world and develop independence in a safe and supportive environment.

Camp gives children a sense of belonging. It brings children together from across the world, encouraging them to embrace new perspectives and expands their network to new communities. Many alum stay connected after camp and even continue to network in their careers!

But not every child has the opportunity to experience camp. Financial barriers prevent children from accessing these valuable friendships, personal growth, and carefree, fun experiences that stay with you a lifetime!

At Under the Pines Scholarship Foundation we believe every child deserves a summer outdoors without technology to be explore and be a kid! Through scholarships, we work to make these formative experiences accessible to children who might not otherwise have the chance.
