We are very excited to again host one of our favorite fundraising events, Cocktails & Camp Tales: Fiesta. This year’s celebration will be Saturday, November 4, 2023, at Mission Hills Country Club. The evening includes cocktails and dinner, a brief program, and a silent and live auction.  Please consider helping us continue to make children’s dreams come true by donating an auction item for our event.

Camps for Kids works to assure that no Kansas City area youngster is denied the benefits of summer camp due to medical disability or financial disadvantage.  Some of the many challenges these youngsters are facing include spina bifida, cancer, epilepsy, congenital heart disorders, developmental disabilities, Tourette’s syndrome and neighborhood crime.  There is no other organization in Kansas City dedicated to making camp available to all needy children!

With the help of many contributors and area Kansas Citians, our capacity to address our mission continues to grow. Since its founding 42 years ago, Camps for Kids has helped bring the summer camp experience to tens of thousands of children in our community, regardless of their circumstances or the challenges they face. As we look forward to the 2023 camping season, we continue our pledge to the 20 camps in our network – that no Kansas City area child will be deprived of the impact and potent fun of camp. With your help, we are working to raise over $400,000 in support in 2023 so that even more children can experience the wonders of summer camp.
