President’s Message – April

Spring has arrived here at Camp K, and there is a lot for us to look forward to!

We are proud to announce that we have been Accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA) again in 2015. This accreditation is evidence of our commitment to remaining in compliance with the ACA’s standards for health, safety, and risk management.  I am honored to serve as the Southwest Membership Chair for the ACA.  This month, I am honored to be featured in their newsletter, as “It Takes a Village” to build a sustainable, collective social impact in our community.

We are gearing up for an exciting Summer Camp Season, where we will build lasting relationships, stretch our imagination, challenge our potential, and create unforgettable memories. We are preparing our property and facilities, hiring and training staff, registering wonderful campers, and creating new activities.

Recently, we received an email from a former camper, Ashley Vacanti, which reminded us how important Camp K is in the lives of our campers.  She said, “When I went to Camp Kostopulos for the NF Week several years in a row, it changed my life for the better.  I found myself and became a confident person and along the way I made a lot of friends and I’m still friends with some of those people today.  So thankful Camp K exists!”

We still have openings for Summer Camp positions.  Jobs include assistant program coordinators, camp counselors, group leaders, lifeguards, cooks, nurses, and support staff.  If you know anybody who is interested in a summer job, working in an environment where they will have the opportunity to change lives and make a difference in our community, please send them to this link:    https://www.campk.org/employment/summer-camp

Our signature event of the year is approaching, and we look forward to seeing everyone at our 27th Annual “Send a Kid to Camp” Gala on May 1.  This event will be a lot of fun, with entertainment, dinner, and much more.  For more information, please visit:  www.campk.org/gala

 

“Together we dream, together we do.”

President and CEO
