NYC Fundraiser: The Summer Camp Spring Party

Tickets are on sale now. Prices increase on April 20⏳

The Summer Camp Spring Party is back in Manhattan—this year in a new space from the folks at Apollo’s, just down the block from the Police Building.

Roll-O Dairy Bar is driving in from South Jersey to cater, serving up a menu that might just rival last year’s smashburgers: sausage sandwiches, market vegetables, ice cream, and water ice.

As always, it will be more casual, more delicious, and a little more campy than your average fundraiser.

Why this fundraiser matters:

The Summer Camp provides completely free residential camp experiences for girls from low-income and foster families across the Northeast, including NYC.

Since 1986, nearly 11,000 girls have spent their summers in Maine building confidence, forming friendships, and experiencing the joy of camp—many for the very first time.

💚Your support makes this possible.

Spring Party Memories…looking forward to many more

Help Us Send More Girls to Camp! Seeking Referral Partners in NY & MA 😎

We’re expanding our reach! The Summer Camp is looking for new community and educational partners in New York and Massachusetts to help us provide life-changing summers to girls who need them most.

For 40 years, we’ve provided girls from low-income households and foster homes with a completely free residential camp experience in Readfield, Maine. Our goal is to provide 300 girls each summer with a safe and fun space to build confidence, master new skills, and simply enjoy the magic of being a kid.

How it works: We rely on schools, social service agencies, and community groups to identify girls (ages 7–14) in their communities who would love to attend summer camp, but don't have the means to otherwise. The Summer Camp eliminates all barriers, providing all necessary gear and transportation to and from camp.

Let’s Connect: If your organization or school serves girls ages 7-14 and you want to gift them a residential summer camp adventure, we’d love to talk.
