(CASA Volunteers note: Child Advocates’ CASA program has been the recipient of multiple donations to create a camp fund. We are able to assist with the cost to send your CASA child to camp. Please reach out to the camp directors and inquire if there is a possibility of scholarships for children who are in foster care or whose families are involved in the dependency court process. Very often camps will work with organizations to offer an opportunity to a child who would otherwise never get the chance to attend their program.)
