Summer Camp Assistance Program

Each year T&E Care funds are used to support students who want to attend a week or two of summer camp, but the families can’t cover all or part of the tuition.  We offer up to $350/child towards the tuition cost.  Our website lists lots of local camp suggestions, but families are encouraged to choose any camp of interest – from our list or from any list!  This program has been a great way to help local kids have some extra special fun during the long and hot Philadelphia summers!

If you have any information about good camps to put on our list, or good scholarships that we can add to our sponsorship list, then please get in touch with us at camp@tecare.org.  We also welcome donations toward this important program.

SUMMER CAMP RESULTS 2023

Covid-impacted attendance is finally over!  We are excited to note that in 2023 T&E Care supported over 57 students from 41 different families so those kids could attend a summer camp experience.  And some were so good at finding camps with decent tuition rates, we actually processed 73 different payments!   Lots of soccer, basketball, swimming, cooking, and drawing was enjoyed this summer.  We paid over $17,500 to support these students and families. Scholarship assistance also allowed us to stretch our support even more.

We send a special thanks to the following camps for offering great scholarships:
Sky High Basketball
TEYSA
Tredyffrin Township
Future Stars
Devon Prep Sports Camps
Pioneers Basketball Camp

A HUGE thanks to Cara Rash, Erin Campbell, Susan Chronister for their incredible efforts, and special thanks to Damika Harris for processing all the payments, and Mary Saylor coordinating the camp program.  What an amazing group of volunteers!
