Kids in Need Experience the Watersports Camp
One-hundred eight campers in need have been able to experience the fun and excitement of the Watersports Camp this summer, thanks to the support of many generous individuals and organizations who are committed to making sure that the benefits of camp are available to all kids. We greatly appreciate the support from the many camp families who have pitched in to send kids to camp and the grants provided by the San Diego Yacht Club Sailing Foundation, TK Foundation, Torrey Pines Kiwanis Foundation, and California Division of Boating and Waterways.
The campership program at The Watersports Camp seeks to ensure that the benefits of camp participation are accessible to all youth regardless of financial status. In 2015, more than $35,000 in camperships were awarded to more than 150 San Diego area at-risk or under-represented youth. The Major Andy Budenz Campership, in memorial of a past member of the MBAC team, provides a week of wakeboarding camp to a child of a US military member who has been deployed or has given their life in service to our country.
"All kids should be given a chance to experience a week of watersports camp regardless of their background or family's financial situation," shared Morgan McGee, the Watersports Camp Administrator. "I love being able to award kids the opportunity to try something that may turn into a lifelong passion."
You too can help send a kid to camp next summer by making a donation by visiting watersportscamp.com/donate. One-hundred percent of the funds will be used to help a deserving child create life-long friendships and memories at camp.
