Natalie keeps talking about how much fun it was. That’s important, but I loved that the counselors talked with the kids all the time about college, the dreams they can have, and the goals they can start working toward now. That changes lives!

Camp for All Kids
August 11th

𝐌𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐚 𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐧𝐨.

When her WOW mentor encouraged her to attend Camp for All Kids' Four Star Fellowship at Camp WeHaKee for Girls, spending a week away from home with nearly 100 teenagers she had never met felt intimidating.

But Melissa decided to take the chance.

Just a few days later, she had made new friends, tried new things, and discovered something she hadn't expected:

A community where she felt safe, welcomed, and free to be herself.

“Everyone here wants you to be here,” Melissa said. “The community here is so special. You get to try new things, meet new people, and have experiences you can carry with you.”

And then she said something that captures the magic of Four Star:

"𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐈'𝐦 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞.”

In just one week, Melissa found more than new experiences. She found a community – and the confidence to say yes to what comes next.

That’s the power of the Four Star Fellowship.

Through partnerships with organizations like Youth Guidance Chicago's Working on Womanhood (WOW) program and Camp WeHaKee for Girls, Camp for All Kids gives young people the opportunity to build friendships, try new things, and discover a place where they belong.

Camp for All Kids and Camp Marimeta
August 4th

𝐅𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬. 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲.

When Syeda first arrived at Camp Marimeta five summers ago, the outdoors felt unfamiliar and intimidating.

But each summer, she grew a little more confident and began trying things she never thought possible.

With encouragement from her counselors and the support of the Camp Marimeta community, Syeda built the confidence to have new experiences and embrace challenges that once seemed out of reach

This summer, she reached another milestone she could have only dreamed about when she first arrived at camp: traveling to Hawaii on Marimeta's service-learning trip, developing leadership skills as a Counselor-in-Training, and snorkeling in the Pacific Ocean.

Next summer, Syeda intends to return – this time as a member of the Marimeta staff, becoming one of the first Camp for All Kids scholarship recipients to come full circle as a camp employee.

That's the power of renewable camperships.

Every summer builds on the one before it, helping children discover new passions, develop confidence, and realize they're capable of more than they ever imagined.

Camp for All Kids is with North Star Camp.
July 30th

Sometimes the best connection starts by unplugging.

When Bizzy arrived at North Star Camp in 2023, he thought he was coming for a fun summer.

Instead, he discovered something much bigger.

Away from phones and surrounded by the Northwoods, Bizzy found a love of fishing, outdoor adventure, and the simple joy of spending his days in nature. By the end of the summer, he returned home feeling healthier, more active, and eager to spend even more time outside.

And the experience didn't end when camp did. Bizzy has returned every summer since, and the friendships he built continue throughout the year.

That's the power of camp.

It's a place where children can unplug from technology, connect with the outdoors, and discover a world far bigger than they imagined.
