Each year, John Knox Ranch welcomes children who might not otherwise have the opportunity to experience the joy of camp. I want to share a glimpse of what your support makes possible.
Here is an excerpt from a recent scholarship application written by a single mother:
"Camp is more than just a summer activity for my daughter - it's the highlight of her year. She talks about it constantly and remembers it as a place where she feels free, confident, and full of joy. After such a stressful year at home, having a safe and fun environment like camp would mean the world to her. It would give her a chance to just be a kid again, to connect with friends, be active, and enjoy herself in a way that helps heal some of the stress we've both felt." Because of donors like you, her daughter received a scholarship last summer and experienced that sense of freedom, confidence, and community at JKR. We believe the wonder of camp is for every child, not just those who can afford it.
At John Knox Ranch, we work hard to keep camp affordable for all families. The
JKR Summer Camp Scholarship Fund helps ensure that every child who wants to come to camp has a place here.
This year, your gift goes
twice as far! A group of JKR camper and staff alumni have generously committed to
match every donation made to this year’s scholarship campaign. These alumni know firsthand how camp changes lives – and they want to help you share that gift with the next generation.
