The Best Summer Ever!
_______________________________________

This has been a wonderful summer for our clients' children. We've been able to send 79 kids to camp who, without the support of 11 different local programs, would never have had the chance for this enriching life experience.  Whether spending time at a ropes course increasing their self-confidence,  in a dance studio improving their plies, or at the beach discovering ocean creatures, these children have been given opportunities they wouldn't otherwise have experienced at no cost at all to their families. What child doesn't deserve to have a summer filled with memory making activities?


 


 

Thank you

One mother of a girl who attended Gain@GUS, said she was so thankful that her daughter got the chance to attend. Her daughter truly enjoyed the program, something her Mom wasn't sure she would given the strong academic component. Providing transportation and lunch every day was a huge help to this family. Her daughter met knew friends and bonded with the Gain @ GUS staff. She said it was one of her daughter's favorite summers.

 

Thank you to all that make this program possible:

Camp Half Moon
Essex County Summer Day
Girl Scout Camp
Gain @ Gus
Mitchell's Dance Studio 
Prep @ Pingree
Project Adventure
Shore Country Day
Summer Quest
Waring Works
YMCA
