Your support gives kids the friendships, confidence, and character necessary to reach their full potential. Camp Takodah is a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that receives no state or federal funding. We rely solely on the generosity of our community members, and we are grateful for your partnership with us.

Read Sophia's Story

“Takodah was life-changing for Sophia this year,” said Jen (Sophia’s mom). “She was glowing when we picked her up. We have not seen her this happy and exuberant in two years.”

Sophia is like many of our campers. One day everything is going well. The next day a parent falls ill or loses their job. Although parents are willing to sacrifice so much for their kids, the hard choices they face may make it truly impossible for them to afford summer camp.

Sophia could not have attended Camp Takodah without your support.
