For over seven years, I’ve been lucky enough to call Camp Birch Hill my summer home. It’s a place where I’ve learned new skills, made lifelong friends, and created memories that have shaped who I am. The sense of belonging and joy I’ve found at camp is something I wish every child could experience, no matter their background.

The idea for this fundraiser began during my school’s annual speech contest. While brainstorming topics, I started writing about why everyone should go to camp and began to wonder, why can't this be reality? I spoke with the camp’s owner and realized I could help make this dream come true for kids who might not otherwise have the chance.

With your support, I hope to send underprivileged children to Camp Birch Hill, covering their camp tuition, transportation, and even sleeping bags if needed. If we’re able to raise enough, I also hope to take the first steps toward creating a non-profit, so this opportunity can continue for years to come. Every contribution opens the door to new memories, confidence, and opportunities they might not otherwise have. Your donation helps give a child the chance to learn, grow, and just be a kid at camp.
