Take a Kid to Camp

I received an email last week from the organization cityWILD. They were selected as one of 10 organizations nationwide that would be benefiting from Mountain Hardwear's "Send a Kid to Camp" campaign.

cityWILD was a Connect Grant recipient through the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics, as well as Outdoor Outreach, another organization selected to be part of this campaign.

"Send a Kid to Camp" is a great example of the outdoor industry giving back to its community. Here is a summary of the program from the Mountain Hardwear website:

YOUR click can help Send a Kid to Camp. For every visitor to the Send a Kid to Camp site, Mountain Hardwear will donate $1 towards this program. Help us spread the word. Between now and April 15th, you and your friends can click to Send a Kid to Camp. You may return every day to donate!

As the website mentions, you can click through once a day until April 15th. It's an easy way to show your support for outdoor youth programs in your region, and it makes you feel good!

Click away!
