WHY DONATE
We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to experience the joy and growth that a summer camp like Pok-O-MacCready can offer.

By donating to the Adirondack Scholarship Foundation, you're not just giving a child a fun-filled summer – you're investing in their future, fostering personal growth, and creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

We commit to providing equal opportunities for all children, regardless of their background or financial situation. Your donation helps bridge the gap, ensuring that no child is left behind, and that everyone can enjoy the benefits of a summer camp experience.

Your Gift Makes a Difference

 

"Thank you for being so generous to our family for eight years. I can see in my children many strong characteristics that I know are a result of them attending Pok-O. Without the financial help, I can most definitely say that they would never have had the chance to experience camp."

"This experience has forever changed my life in positive ways. I learned to build healthier relationships with my peers; to become an equal contributor in communal efforts; to be a better role model for those younger than me; and to simply relax. After only four weeks, camp has become a home to me."

"When we applied for the scholarship, I thought it would be a great opportunity for a shy, awkward girl to grow and experience life unplugged. Camp has changed her life. My daughter can't wait to spend another summer with good friends and no electronics in one of the most beautiful places on earth."
