SCOPEUSA.ORG 3 2015 SCOPE ANNUAL REPORT
Thanks to YOU, our greatest supporters, 2016 marks SCOPE’s 25th Anniversary year!
Since our inception in 1991, together we have provided over 20,000 children around the United States with life changing summer camp experiences.
Thank YOU for 25 years of providing camp experiences to children whose families simply could not afford to provide the opportunity.
Thank YOU for 25 years of helping impressionable children to step outside the boundaries of their life to explore what is possible at camp. Thank YOU for 25 years of giving the gift of a summer camp to deserving children of low income families all over the country.
Thanks to you and your ongoing support, SCOPE will propel towards the next 25 years.
As we make the strides together we will continue to provide even more children with the inspiration to stay in school, expand as individuals and thrive as members of their community. Together we will empower SCOPE campers to push the boundaries to grow beyond their home life and to celebrate summer at camp year after year.
Thank you for being a part of the journey, it is your ongoing dedication that will continue to change our SCOPE camper’s lives.

How SCOPE Works 1. SCOPE raises funds from foundations, businesses, individual gifts, and fundraising events2. SCOPE allocates funds to participating SCOPE camps to provide camp scholarships3. Participating camps enroll campers; campers are selected in partnership with public schools and community agencies
4. SCOPE campers make a commitment to stay in school in order to return to camp summer after summer
5. SCOPE campers who graduate from high school will be eligible for a college scholarship
“This camp is a retreat from my home life: the kids, the counselors, the nature, everything about it is bliss…
next year I hope to become an instructor.”– Deon, Happy Hollow Children’s Camp
Camp Vacamas - West Milford, NJ
SCOPEUSA.ORG 5 2015 SCOPE ANNUAL REPORT
Why Camp? Summer camp is an essential component
of the year-round continuum and plays
a critical role in helping children from
underserved communities to thrive. The
camp environment allows all children to
grow socially, emotionally, and physically
while providing them with meaningful
and fun interactions with children and
excellent adult role models.
While their more affluent peers are
often enrolled in summer camps and
programs that strengthen and reinforce
learning, the vast majority of children in
low-income communities have little or no
access to these opportunities, resulting
in an enormous achievement gap. SCOPE
bridges this gap by making summer camp
accessible to as many deserving children
as possible.
“The camp is like a brotherhood to me, without it I wouldn’t be complete.”
– Spencer, Camp Fiver
Camp Fiver - Poolville, NY
SCOPEUSA.ORG 6 2015 SCOPE ANNUAL REPORT
Why SCOPE? SCOPE reinforces the connection between academic achievement and the enriched recreational and social educational experiences at summer camp.
By making a long-term commitment to our SCOPE campers, we seek to inspire and empower them to succeed as individuals and make a positive impact in their home communities.
SCOPE campers are children who are enrolled in public school (ages 7 – 16) and qualify for the USDA Free or Reduced Lunch Program. They attend nonprofit overnight camps in the New York Tri-State area, Midwest, Southeast, and Southwest.
“I love this camp so much that I don’t wanna leave. I have met new friends
and made best friends.” - Tyra, Camp Homeward Bound

SCOPEUSA.ORG 11 2015 SCOPE ANNUAL REPORT
The SCOPE Leadership Award recognizes a member of either the SCOPE Young Leaders Board or
Junior Leadership Council who demonstrates a strong commitment to improving the lives of children by doing
their part to provide summer camp opportunities to children who otherwise could not afford the experience. The
award is presented at the SCOPE Annual Benefit Dinner in New York City.
SCOPE Leadership Award
In 2015, SCOPE honored Hayley Canell who combined her passions for community service
and summer camp to design and create an original SCOPE bracelet and t-shirt to raise
money towards her Mitzvah Project. Her project provided two SCOPE campers the
opportunity to experience the magic of summer camp because of Hayley’s efforts.

Kayla began her time at Jameson Camp as an abused, angry 6th grader who struggled with listening to authority and was unable to interact well with her peers. Because of the abuse she faced at home, Kayla was unable to focus at school and often felt left out from different social groups.
Soon after being removed from her unsafe home, however, Kayla was welcomed with open arms into the Jameson Camp family. She soon began to learn how to better interact with not only her peers, but camp staff as well. “When you’re around adults that respect you and you respect them, it’s very different than what I dealt with at home,” Kayla shared, adding that the super positive environment of camp felt like a whole new world.
“The most uplifting part of camp was the Youth Lead-ership program,” says Kayla. In this year-round pro-gram at Jameson, teens participate in leadership workshops, backpacking trips, event planning, and
Resiliency, Success & ScholarshipsKayla’s Story
“I realized I was not the only one in a rough situation, which influenced me to stop isolating myself and instead open up my heart to my family and community.”- Kayla
community service. “Helping and working with different types of people from various backgrounds put so much perspective into my life,” Kayla says, “I realized I was not the only one in a rough situation, which influenced me to stop isolating myself and instead open up my heart to my family and community.”
Kayla has inspired us by quickly applying what she learned from Youth Leadership and community ser-vice to the real world. “I took the leadership skills I developed at camp to become president of Best Buddies as a junior [in high school]. I also used these skills to create two new clubs at my school,” Kayla shared.
Kayla has come a long way from the angry, abused, and closed off young camper she was when she first came to Jameson Camp. And we’re so proud that she’s finding her way and that Youth Leadership helped to get her there.

Making #Strides4SCOPE is Easy!
EPIC AT TRI-STATEEPIC (Emerging Professionals In Camping) raised awareness
and money at the American Camp Association Tri-State con-
ference to send children from low-income families in Atlantic
City to summer camp! #Strides4SCOPE included a Happy Hour,
EPIC information booth, and a 5K Walk/Run. ACA, NY & NJ
matched all donations and together we provided 3 camperships

SWIM-A-THON
With the help of program staff, campers at Lake
of the Woods & Greenwoods Camps have raised
more than $30,000 over the past 6 years by swim-
ming laps to help children enjoy the wonders of
summer camp. SWERVE4SCOPE
Mel Buck’s #Strides4SCOPE was a celebratory
birthday ride with her friends at Swerve Fitness!
Her cycle event sold out in less than a week and
raised enough funds to give one child the gift of
summer camp.
