This holiday season, how about giving the gift of lifelong learning?🎁

🔅OUR GOAL: $4,000 (enough to fund 10 partial 2025 scholarships)

🔅OUR DEADLINE: Dec 31st midnight

What does it mean to give the gift of AICL?

From our roots as a camp for “gifted, creative, and talented” kids in the 80s, we have evolved into a community that supports all those qualities in our campers. We draw from the broadest range of students we can find in Appalachia, while being particularly accommodating to neuro-divergent, LGBTQ+, and other young people seeking a community that is accepting, caring, demographically inclusive, that also encourages adventurous thinking, iconoclasm, play, and deep critical thinking. And we’ve seen first-hand how this kind of programming can transform the lives of kids in Appalachia.

100% of our scholarships are funded by donations from people like you, and with your help, we are dedicated to making our program affordable for every family. Because we believe creative, enriching, life-changing learning opportunities should be available to every family regardless of finances.

You can help us reach our goal by donating to our campaign, sharing with your friends and family, or asking people in your network to make a donation in your name as a holiday gift.

Thank you for your support!
