Help a kid find their place on the farm.
Your gift supports Crown Point’s year-round work and our campership program, so when a family asks for help getting their child to camp, we can say yes.
Raylin told 300 people that one week shaped who she is.
At Taste of Earth, our annual farm-to-table fundraiser, a twelve-year-old named Raylin walked up to the microphone in front of more than 300 people and told us about her week at Crown Point’s Summer Farm and Science Camp. She talked about the friends she made, pulling invasive species for the first time, and the animals. The whole room went quiet. It was her first Crown Point experience, and she had just started seventh grade. She told the crowd what the experience meant to her and how it has helped shape her understanding of food, nature, and friendships. She is a better person because of it.
After a hiatus, camp came back. The community showed up.
The need is great. A week of camp costs $380: five days outdoors on a working farm, with one staff member for every five children. We have room for 120 children next summer, and some of their families will need help getting them here.
What parents told us.
“This is the fourth camp we have tried this summer and the only one my child has come home from every day talking about how wonderful and amazing it is.”
“This week he gained confidence, learned so much and made real positive human connections with peers and leaders.”
“She came home from camp so excited to share every single detail and was so happy the whole week.”
