Sponsor spotlight Help make unforgettable camp experiences possible

Compass Health’s Camp Mariposa serves children aged 9 to 12 affected by family substance use, offering therapeutic outdoor activities to promote healing and connection. Campers participate in nature hikes, canoe rides, and expressive workshops that build life skills and self-confidence. Aiden, a camper, expressed his gratitude for the camp's supportive environment, stating it helped him communicate his feelings and realize he is not alone. Additionally, Camp Outside the Box caters to older youth with intensive mental health needs, providing them with joyful and supportive experiences. Both camps are actively seeking community support, including donations for supplies and activities.

Registration for Camp Mariposa and volunteer opportunities are now available. Compass Health plans to host a fundraiser next spring to benefit these programs, further enhancing their impact on local youth. The camps highlight the importance of connection and fun in fostering emotional well-being for vulnerable children.
