At Change Summer, we believe every young person deserves the chance to grow, explore, and thrive during their summer break. Yet, for too many students from under-resourced communities, these opportunities remain out of reach. That’s where we come in—turning summer into a season of discovery and growth.

In Summer 2024, thanks to the incredible support of our donors, we welcomed over 2,000 campers from 22 partner schools into a world of possibilities. From the thrill of team sports and camp competitions to the joy of arts and crafts, every activity was designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and inspire independence.

The impact speaks for itself:

90% of campers made measurable gains in social and emotional skills—foundational for success in school, work, and life.
87% of campers said they engaged in fun, meaningful experiences that left them energized and excited for what’s next.

As we look ahead to 2025, your support will help us provide:

Highly qualified team members to care for and mentor our campers.
Access to a camp environment outside of school - a college campus or a traditional camp facility that will take them out of their comfort zone and provide a unique, enriching experience.
Supplies and activities that make every day at camp an unforgettable adventure.
Swag and summer necessities to ensure every camper feels prepared and celebrated.

Your generosity makes this magic happen. Together, we can continue to open doors to brighter futures for even more young people. Join us in making summer count—because every child deserves a chance to shine.
