The Children’s Lifesaving Foundation (The CLF) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, dedicated to transforming the lives of underserved, BIPOC youth and houseless families living in shelters and transitional housing in Los Angeles through a unique approach of providing outdoor education through amazing Summer and Surf Camps, inspiring Holiday Events and awesome Field Trips in and around Los Angeles, and Educational Assistance and Scholarships for youth through to college-age. We also provided crucial Emergency Funding during the COVID-19 Crisis to the families in our Vita Network. Over 85,000 underserved, primarily BIPOC and Latinx youth and families have been served since 1993.

Help CLF send over 1,000 youth coming from historocally underserved neighborhoods in Los Angeles by donating to our CAMP FOR ALL PROGRAM! Camp for All has TWO wonderful components: Wilderness Camp & Surf Camp. It focusus on outdoor and marine education, mindfulness and writing workshops, fun and inspiring eco-art projects, awesome, traditional camp activities too, and live animal learning. Many of the youth served have or are experiencing actual houselessness within their family systems, and have little opportunity for experiences such as these. CLF's Camp for All Program is a FANTASTIC, FREE experience for all participating youth, and we are so grateful to all of our great friends for your wonderful support...

Let's help some fantastic children who do not have the opportunities for such to create amazing summer memories which we all greatly cherish, get a respite from their regular environment, and enjoy a fun, impactful camp experience! YAY!!!
