Sponsor a child for summer camp in 2025!
Children from low-income families are significantly less likely to attend summer programs, with parents citing cost as a major barrier.
According to a recent survey, 38% of families making less than $50,000 per year said their child participated in a structured activity during the summer in 2023, compared to 67% of parents making $100,000 or more — nearly a 30% gap.
Sponsor a child to attend our summer program with a Campership!
The DiSYPles summer program keeps kids learning all summer long with daily activities that emphasize STEM and reading. Students enjoy field trips and experiences that encourage them to try new things. Summer camp also helps them grow as people and connect with their peers.
DiSYPles provides an enriching six-week camp experience, costing $500 per camper. We aim to raise $12,500 to fund camperships for 25 campers, allowing families to send their children to camp free of charge.
"My daughter has built valuable relationships with staff and other campers. We continue to come back because I know my daughter is in a safe, nurturing environment. Coming to camp is something she looks forward to!"

When we give to the community, they give back.
Community member Denise G. first connected with Bethany Community Ministries a few years ago when she stumbled across a block party we were hosting and decided to join in.
Now, she visits the center faithfully on Fridays for a meal, often inviting friends to join her. She’s developed a close relationship with Tyrone Jones, manager of the Storehouse, who she says goes above and beyond by delivering food to people who have trouble leaving their homes.
"When I get my lunch, I always get [extras]. I bring my cart and deliver the meals to people I know who need them. Tyrone taught me that, because he does it."
Thank you for your support!
Our work wouldn't be possible without the amazing people who donate their time, talents, and resources to help us achieve our mission. Together, we're transforming lives through service!
