Camp SkyWild is proud to share that we have been selected as a grantee in the American Camp Association’s Character at Camp Grant Program, a competitive national initiative supported by Lilly Endowment Inc.

This grant recognizes our commitment to intentional, research-informed character development and supports important behind-the-scenes work that strengthens our programs — including staff training, evaluation tools, curriculum development, and participation in a national learning community of camps.

In addition to this grant-funded work, there are many parts of the camp experience that rely on community support:

Creating flexible, responsive staffing environments that support regulation and connection
Providing sensory-supportive spaces and materials that help campers feel safe and included
Offering scholarship flexibility so more families can access camp
Ensuring camp feels warm, human, and relationship-centered — not just well-designed

This campaign helps us support the lived experience of the Character at Camp work.

The American Camp Association provides the training, tools, and framework that guide our character development efforts. Our community support helps bring those values to life for campers and staff, every day.

If you believe in camp experiences that build character through belonging, connection, and care, we invite you to support this next chapter at Camp SkyWild.
