Education

Help us provide an awesome week to a deserving child complete with healthy lunches and snacks this summer and make a difference in our community.  ​We would like to be able to provide healthy lunches and snacks to 100% of our campers this year. We feel that a healthy meal encourages learning.

​We provide full scholarships to half of our campers and found there is a need to provide healthy lunches and snacks during our summer Eco-Camp in order to assure all summer campers, regardless of their family’s income level, will be provided with the same nutrition. All activities in our summer Eco-Camp are geared to 9 to 12 year-olds, and emphasize hands-on, experiential learning. With particular focus on stormwater runoff, the goal of the program is to demonstrate to students and their families how to be better stewards of the environment.

 

​​Camp includes instruction and exploration of the natural environment, including four field trips. The addition of nutrition education combined with providing nutritious meals and snacks will bolster our effort to ignite a lifestyle of healthy eating and physical activity outdoors.

Your tax-deductible contribution can help us give students with financial need the learning experiences provided by Cape Fear River Watch’s Summer Camp program.

Any amount can truly make a difference, and are greatly appreciated. Please help us expand our outreach efforts to include youngsters who would not otherwise be able to afford this program, and make a donation online now.
