Camptown received a $7,500 grant from the PeyBack Foundation to support outdoor summer adventures. With the support from the PeyBack Foundation, over 700 urban and suburban youth will have experiential opportunities unlike ever before. Youth will have the opportunity to spend time surrounded by trees or eating lunch by a quiet stream. They will hike, canoe, camp, backpack, climb, raft, plan games and explore. Lessons learned during an outdoor experience are transformational. the intensity of an outdoor experience creates indelible memories that help youth take the lessons learned in the woods and transfer them back to their everyday life.
