Dear Friends,
I am reaching out to express my deepest gratitude for your continued support of Kids Kamp, a program that has been a beacon of hope and transformation for children since 1978. Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, we are able to provide 20 children, aged 8-12, with an unforgettable experience at Kids Kamp every summer at no cost to them and their families.
Kids Kamp is more than just a getaway; it is a place where children learn vital life skills. With the guidance of therapists and the support of their peers, they learn to regulate their emotions and communicate effectively. Last year, one child found the courage to open up about their feelings of unworthiness and being unlovable due to parental neglect. It was a profound moment for them to voice these feelings for the first time, and it was an honor to provide the support they needed to begin healing and building self-esteem.
Our program is unique in its approach to combining fun and classic camp activities such as hiking, stargazing, and campfires, with therapeutic and educational experiences. Children learn about healthy boundaries, relationships, and how to regulate their emotions in a way that is not typically found in other settings. This holistic approach is what sets Kids Kamp apart and is why it is so crucial to San Mateo County children and their families.
As we look forward to this coming Kids Kamp in August at Camp Lodestar, we are excited to continue this vital work and hope that we can count on your support once again. Your contribution is not just a donation; it is an investment in the lives of these deserving children, an opportunity for them to learn, grow, and change their lives for the better.
Sincerely,
Sara Larios Mitchell, Ph.D., MACP
CEO
