Project Description:
Families in Camp Daggett’s core service area – the Char-Em Intermediate School District – are facing shortages in quality child care options and the high cost of available care options.
Camp Daggett will expand programming in June 2024 to include Day Camp for students ages 5-12.
Camp Daggett Day Camp will run Monday through Friday 7:30 am-5:30 pm over eight weeks beginning June 16 and ending August 10. The cost will be $225 per week, per child and will be limited to only children enrolled in school in the Char-Em Intermediate School District.
While overnight summer camp is long established and has several existing scholarship funds, Day Camp is a new offering that needs a financial boost! Our aim is to ease the burden of access to childcare and the associated cost.
Of the 30 families participating in the inaugural year of Day Camp, eight have requested financial assistance.
This grant request aims to meet the financial assistance need in-full for those eight families ($2,925.00).
Goal of the Project
How many people will you reach?
32
What percentage are female?
70
If your program serves both males and females, how will Hestia funds specifically target women and girls?
In choosing the Camp Daggett Day Camp Financial Assistance and Facility Renovation project The Hestia Women’s Giving Circle is investing in families! This is a long-term facility that will house a program that will serve as a community resource in helping solve a pain point for local families – affordable, quality child care.
How are recipients identified or selected to receive services? Is financial need considered?
Camp Daggett's Day Camp registration process includes a Financial Assistance Application that requests total household income, family size and a testimonial about what coming to the camp means to the family and child.
What do you hope to achieve? What difference will this make in the lives of women and girls?
How will this project meet Hestia's mission statement?
We are offering a Day Camp experience that extends beyond typical child care to foster the growth and development of the whole child.
The home base for the program will be the Camp Daggett Adventure Center and will expand into the 136 acres we offer and 1,600 feet of waterfront on Walloon Lake.
This indoor center is paired with our Outdoor Adventure and Ropes Course which includes 10 unique low-ropes elements, 12 dynamic high-ropes elements, a 40 foot tall three-sided climbing tower, and a zip line.
All of the indoor and outdoor adventure education elements are designed to encourage growth and development of important skills, such as camaraderie, perseverance, goal-setting, and team work. These are workforce readiness skills our campers take into future endeavors.
Aside from providing character building experiences to young girls, this grant would allow us to give families economic relief which helps meet the Hestia mission of "Promoting economic self-sufficiency and well-being for women and girls."
How will you evaluate or measure your success:
Following each week of Day Camp, participants are provided a survey to share impact feedback. We will gather information on how the program met the family's and the individual camper's needs and expectations and request a testimonial on the impact provided by financial assistance.
