Join us for Miles for SMILEs – a walk with a purpose across the beautiful Mississippi Gulf Coast! Miles for SMILEs is Camp SMILE's major fundraiser for the year.

For those of you that have not heard of Camp SMILE before, we are a summer camp for individuals of all ages with special needs. We offer a unique one-to-one camper-to-counselors ratio which helps campers adjust to life outside their normal routine and helps foster genuine relationships between campers and counselors. Camp SMILE is about changing lives: campers enjoy the freedom of the outdoors; families receive a much needed period of respite; and volunteers enjoy an unforgettable experience! There truly is no limit to the adventure!

We will have teams walking 3, 6, 9, or 12 miles along the beach on May 15 and 16. Show your support by sponsoring a team per mile, or by making a one-time donation to help them reach their goal!

Please help us make this year special and give our campers the experience of a lifetime!
