SCOPEUSA.ORG 2 2016 SCOPE ANNUAL REPORT A Letter From Our Leadership To our incredibly generous SCOPE supporters, In our 25th year we embarked upon new initiatives, participated in supporters’ life milestones and all the while, you have made SCOPE your philanthropic destination. Thank you!
Maybe your relationship with SCOPE runs 25 years deep, or you are somewhat new to the growing SCOPE network – either way, we are ecstatic to have you as part of our community! We are grateful for your dedication and are appreciative of the opportunities you have provided to the deserving children who have received SCOPE camperships. Not just today but into tomorrow and, with your continued support, for another 25 years!
Your contributions during the year through foundations, corporate sponsorships, community partnerships, events in your communities, personal fundraisers, individual donations, gifts in tribute of loved ones, or the simplicity of volunteering your time will help more and more children from the underserved communities we serve attend overnight summer camp. Because of you, these children are given the opportunity to explore outside the boundaries of their home life and experience what many of us refer to as the place that gave me the power to believe in myself… CAMP!
SCOPE helps to provide these very same children with their own camp experiences – introducing each child to new opportunities and a chance to learn valuable life skills from responsible mentors and role models. SCOPE camperships require these children stay in school and make positive contributions to their communities with the incentive to return to camp summer after summer. It is these very same SCOPE campers that will then be eligible for future support from the Sanford Lavitt Fund to receive scholarship money to help make the prospect of college a reality.
Yesterday we began the journey, today we made an impact, tomorrow we do it all again with the knowledge and experience to make it even greater. We appreciate your ongoing support and look forward to facing tomorrow together as we reach for SCOPE’s next major milestone. Sincerely,
Mitch Reiter, SCOPE Board President Molly Hott Gallagher, SCOPE Executive Director

SCOPEUSA.ORG 4 2016 SCOPE ANNUAL REPORT Why Camp? Summer camp is an essential component of the year-round continuum and plays a critical role in helping children from underserved communities to thrive. The camp environment allows all children to grow socially, emotionally, and physically while providing them with meaningful and fun interactions with children and excellent adult role models.
While their more affluent peers are often enrolled in summer camps and programs that strengthen and reinforce learning, the vast majority of children in low-income communities have little or no access to these opportunities, resulting in an enormous achievement gap. SCOPE bridges this gap by making summer camp accessible to as many deserving children as possible. Learn More >
“I would like the chance to go back to camp again this year. At home, I sit in the house all day and occasionally ride my bike. I might go to the park, which is underdeveloped, or take a walk around the block. I think it is too crowded out in Brooklyn, because I have nowhere to go [to play.]” – Shawn, Camp Wilbur Herrlich, Patterson, NY

SCOPEUSA.ORG 6 2016 SCOPE ANNUAL REPORT Sanford Lavitt Education Fund
Since 1992, SCOPE has provided more than 20,000 deserving children with the benefits of summer camp - positive identity and confidence; better social, physical and cognitive skills; and increased independence and leadership. Based on the belief that summer camp is a partner in the education of children, SCOPE is dedicated to affording outstanding camp opportunities to children from low income families, as we have for over 25 years. To strengthen the importance of the formal education of the children we serve, we ask SCOPE campers to stay in school and encourage them to do well and complete their education. Our long term commitment to SCOPE campers is further enhanced through the Sanford Lavitt Education Fund, which will provide college or vocational school scholarships to children who remain in the SCOPE program and graduate from high school. It is through our focus on the year-round education of the total child that we can truly fulfill our mission: to help children from underserved communities succeed in life through the summer camp experience.
• The Lavitt Education Fund will provide college or approved vocational school scholarships for SCOPE campers • Campers entering third, fourth or fifth grade each summer are eligible, beginning in 2013 • Children must stay in school, return to camp each summer, and graduate high school • “Gap year” campership will be available for campers to return in leadership capacity as they age out of camper program

2016 Award Winner In 2016, SCOPE honored Camp Blue Ridge camper Erica Sosman with the SCOPE Leadership Award. Erica held a We Spin For This cycling event and a Swimming for SCOPE Awareness Day at camp. With support from her friends, family, and camp community, her philanthropic efforts provided a campership for a less fortunate child to attend summer camp!
“The lessons I learned over my past 9 summers at camp are valuable lessons for all children, not just the ones fortunate to have families who could provide them with the opportunity to attend summer camp. I [feel] that perhaps it could be ME to help less fortunate children learn the numerous life lessons that I learned at camp, many that are not best taught in a traditional classroom.”
- Erica Sosman, SCOPE Leadership Award Winner
SCOPEUSA.ORG 13 2016 SCOPE ANNUAL REPORT The Power of Summer Camp Beyond the Boundaries of Home - Mustapha’s Story “Without my summer camp experiences, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York to parents who had just come from Nigeria. Starting at a young age, I have always had dreams. But I never had a concrete idea as to how to go about reaching those goals.
At 11 years old, my parents learned of a summer camp opportunity that I could be a part of. It could help me do something different with my summers. I was the first member of my family to attend any kind of summer camp so it was completely new and I was very willing to participate!
Camp provided me, as a young man of color, with a platform to build off of, showing me that there is more to the world outside my home and my neighborhood. This idea was instilled in me from being a camper and growing into a camp staff member. Although it took me well into my college years to have an idea of what I wanted to do, I did know that I wanted to help young people, just like camp and its staff helped me. I guess you can say that camp inspired me when I was younger and continues to do so today.
I see and know firsthand the positive impact camp has on children. SCOPE support plays a vital role in the lives of these young people. Thank you for providing me and kids like me with the opportunity to leave our ‘normal’ surroundings of home and grow, in unique ways as individuals at camp.” Read more Camper Stories > “Camp [showed] me that there is more to the world outside my home and my neighborhood.” - Mustapha
