We need you!
At Center of Life, our busiest and most expensive time of the year are the summer months. Many of the kids we serve come from families that are unable to afford the basics, let alone pay for summer camp. They need us. And we need you.
With your help, we can help so many more children than we already are. Just $10 provides a child the experience of attending summer camp and so much more. Thank you so much for your generosity.
Sincerely,
Tim Smith
CEO
P.S. Feel free to share this link with family and friends. $10 goes so far here at Center of Life. If that’s all you can give, I understand. But if you can give more, please do. Every dollar counts. See below for how far we're able to make $10 go. I can't wait to see the smiles on the children's faces this summer. Thank you so much!
Be the reason we’re able to do what we do. Let me show you how far $10 goes here at Center of Life:
Although the cost per child to attend our summer camp is approximately $1,200*, thanks to generous foundation support and people like you, we only ask our families for a $10 registration fee per child to attend our entire five-week summer camp.
Our summer camp provides a full day’s worth of activities — education, athletics, music, field trips, even food! — to kids who otherwise would have nowhere to go during the summer. The best part? We never turn any child away, even if their parents can’t pay that nominal fee.
That’s why we need your help. Although we receive wonderful support, we’re often operating at a deficit. Your gift of even $10 will make a huge difference in allowing us to provide even more support to kids who need us.
Thank you for giving!

To provide as many children as possible with the enriching experience of attending a summer camp that serves them holistically — mind, body, and spirit.
