Ways to Help
Hartford's Camp Courant is a century old summer program for Hartford city children. The camp operates for six weeks during the summer months, but it involves volunteers, businesses and other organizations year-round. Here are just some of the ways you or your organization can help us fulfill our mission: To provide a summer sanctuary for Hartford's children, which enables them to develop positive relationships, learn and have fun.

Direct Financial Support |
It costs approximately $965,000 a year to provide a range of interesting and unique programs for up to 2,000 Hartford children during the summer months. Unrestricted financial support will provide all of the services at camp, including transportation, nutritious meals, health care and a bathing suit, if needed. It costs $25 per day per child to provide these services, or $125 a week. If you would like to provide direct financial support, please contact Eleanor Conrad Claffey, Development Assistant, at (860) 241-3750 or econrad@campcourant.org, or click here for more information. |

In-Kind Goods or Services |
More than $100,000 of in-kind contributions are made to the camp annually.

Some of the items on our wish list include baseball gloves, basketballs, ping-pong paddles and balls, primary level books, new underwear, towels and washcloths, sand toys, T-shirts, sneakers and shorts.
