 Located in Brewster, MA, Camp Mitton creates a small, family-style environment for the children who attend during the summer months. Each summer, 192 youth ages 7-13 from Cape Cod and Greater Boston learn to develop healthy ways to cope with stressful life situations. Many of our campers have experienced or are currently experiencing crisis situations such as homelessness, abuse or neglect. A number of our campers have been removed from their homes and placed in foster care, roughly 25% are homeless with their families, 70% are involved with DSS and more than 85% live below the U.S. Poverty Level. Since children in crisis situations are known to experience a low self-image, feelings of hopelessness and an inability to understand and communicate their personal feelings, our program intervenes by providing a safe and stable environment, personal relationships with caring adults and opportunities to experience success. Our goal is that, as a result of our intervention programs, children will be better able to cope with their situations, have healthier self-images and a chance for bolder dreams. |
