Partnering with Cambridge Camping

Cambridge Camping Association seeks to build a cooperative network of like-minded organizations that support families and individuals in Greater Boston and Massachusetts. Cambridge Camping has established a rapport with key staff at schools, government and independent social service agencies, foundations and camps. Together, we have the power to serve our clients better and serve more of them, making a positive difference in children's lives.

Camp Partnerships

Cambridge Camping works with camps to broaden their enrollment and diversity while considering each child's needs. CCA's camper referrals are successful for our families and for the camps we partner with because we:

• Act as liaison between families and camp.
• Screen children for appropriateness.
• Administer scholarship funds provided by camps.
• Assist families to complete applications and review them for missing information.
• Bill families and agencies and collect payments.

Agency Partnerships

Cambridge Camping partners with social service agencies by placing the children they serve in summer camps. CCA provides safe and engaging activities so that children can grow socially and emotionally over the summer and be better prepared for school in the fall.

We help social service agencies by:

• Referring social workers to summer camp programs that fit their clients' needs.
• Screening children for successful placement.
• Helping to identify possible financial aid funding for clients.
• Tracking registrations for referred clients.
• Managing an agency's campership budget, and billing for enrolled clients at the end of the summer.
