About Us

As the founder of Camp Joy, I am thrilled to share the incredible progress we have made together in supporting children in need. Your unwavering generosity and support have enabled us to create a brighter future for countless young lives.

​

At Camp Joy, our mission is to ensure that every child appreciates their true worth to become the best person they can be in an environment that fosters respect for others, a true appreciation for wildlife, love for our country and self development.  This year, thanks to your donations, we have successfully launched new programs that provide nutritious meals, swimming and canoeing instructions, educational materials, and first hand knowledge of animals in the wild.

I am continuously inspired by the resilience and potential of the children we serve. Their smiles, laughter, and achievements remind us all of the profound impact we can have when we come together with a shared purpose.

​

As we look ahead, there is still much work to be done. We are committed to expanding our reach and enhancing our programs to better serve the needs of our communities. With your continued support, we can transform even more lives and build a brighter, more equitable future for all children.

​

Thank you for believing in our mission and for being a vital part of our journey. Together, we are making a difference, one child at a time.

With heartfelt gratitude,

​
