From the Community

For more than 25 years, the Triangle Community Foundation has expertly aligned the generosity of area philanthropists with the needs of our community. The impact of these efforts is exemplified through the Send a Kid to Camp Program through which thousands of Triangle-area children have been afforded the opportunity to step away of their often difficult lives and into the carefree adolescence they deserve, if only for a short while. We are inspired by, grateful for and value the work of the Triangle Community Foundation. We proudly support Send a Kid to Camp and the foundation's overall efforts to make our region a better place.

Send A Kid To Camp


Send A Kid To Camp enables children ages 5-17 living in difficult circumstances from Chatham, Durham, Orange, and Wake Counties to attend summer camp.  These children may be disabled, living in foster care, or from a family unable to afford camp. 

YOU can give these children a summer experience to remember by making a gift or getting involved.  Since the program’s inception in 1984 over 7,770 children from across the Triangle region have benefited from Send A Kid To Camp. 

Learn about our camp partners and hear the stories of our campers.

How it works
Triangle Community Foundation partners with local camps to provide scholarships to children through Send A Kid To Camp. Children are then selected to participate by our camp partners.  Triangle Community Foundation reaches out to donors like you to help send a kid to camp.  Your gift can support children across the Triangle or you can sponsor kids in a certain county.

Thank you for your support in 2011
Thanks to the generous support of donors and sponsors, more than 520 Triangle-area children attended camp in 2011 through Send A Kid To Camp.  Triangle Community Foundation granted over $138,000 to our 2011 Send A Kid To Camp Partners.
