Arizona Daily Star readers fund scholarships for kids to go to camp

We send local kids to weeklong YMCA, Scouting America (formerly Boy Scouts) and Girl Scout overnight camps, as well as overnight camping at Camp Tatiyee for school-age children with special needs.

Our goal is to raise $225,000 to send at least 500 kids to overnight camp. So far, we’ve received 746 donations totaling $174,060.19, or just over 77% of our goal.

Credit-card donations and details on the camps we sponsor: azsendakidtocamp.org

Send checks, payable to Sportsmen’s Fund, to: Send a Kid to Camp, P.O. Box 16141, Tucson, AZ 85732-6141
