Support ResilientLetter Kidsfrom theand President Strong Community November 2016 Dear Friend of Camp Colley, As the group of kids put on life jackets to go canoeing on the reservoir, one 9 year-old girl hung back, tears streaming down her face. She told a concerned counselor that she was scared to step into the canoe on what looked to her like a massive expanse of water. It was Dasia’s first camping trip. Prior to visiting Camp Colley, an overnight camp in the beautiful Coconino Forest north of Payson that is owned by the City of Phoenix, her world was limited to the Phoenix housing neighborhood in which she lives with her family. She was overwhelmed and uncertain about what might happen. After talking about her fears, Dasia climbed into the canoe alongside a counselor who provided support, encouragement, and safety. When she returned to camp, she talked with enthusiasm about being out on the water. Dasia gained confidence in her ability to try new things and reach for success. For 16 years, Camp Colley has offered opportunities to at-risk kids to take healthy risks, build self-confidence, and experience success. During Camp Season 2016 we served 832 youth, many of whom came from the City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department, Housing Department, and Neighborhood Services. Campers also came from Title 1 public elementary schools, UMOM, Camp Audubon Adventures Summer Camp, Native Health, and Special Olympics. Your generous support enables the Camp Colley Foundation to provide transformative experiences to disadvantaged, at-risk youth at Camp Colley. Please help us prepare to welcome deserving kids in the summer of 2017. Flo Eckstein Mamie Coffey President Director of Operations [email protected] [email protected] 216 W.
