MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY CAMP
COMPASSION & COMMUNITY SERVICE
This holiday camp will explore important questions that help us think about what it’s like to be different, what acceptance means and feels like, and how to live our lives in ways that honor all differences. Each MLK Camp includes a community service project. In the past, we have made food for food fridges, sandwiches for sandwich drives, assembled care packages for the unhoused, made dog toys and treats for shelters, and upcycled cards for the holidays to give to those in need.
This year, our community service project uses a portion of your camp registration fees to build care and hygiene packets for the unhoused. This project is something all ages can participate in, understand the need for, and easily distribute to reach many people who need it. I’ve had so many children share their experiences of giving these bags to others, and it truly helps bring awareness to communities that are often underserved in this city.
