Camp for All Kids

Camp for All Kids (CFAK) is a non-profit 501C(3) organization founded in 1997, committed to promoting racial diversity in the overnight camp community. CFAK provides overnight camp experiences ranging from one to eight weeks that enable Black and Brown youth from historically marginalized communities to experience the joys, challenges and benefits of camp, providing a safe environment that fosters fellowship and social-emotional development.

Camp for All Kids has run on a largely volunteer-run basis since inception, and hired a full-time Executive Director in January of 2021. The organization is finishing a 3-year strategic plan this Fall, and is moving towards significant program and operational growth as a central tenet of the plan. Our current team includes an Operations Director, Development Manager, part-time Program Manager and dedicated Board of Directors. The team is expanding to include two full-time Program Management Roles: Campership Programs Manager and Four Star Fellowship Program Manager, who will collaborate across programs for success and impact.

We deliver on our mission through two core programs: The Campership Program and Four Star Fellowship. The Campership Program currently provides free and renewable experiences for youth in grades 3-12 from Chicago, Cleveland and St. Louis to attend four and eight week overnight camp sessions at seven partner camps in Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota.
