ANNUAL REPORT
Empowering Children In Need Through The Camp Experience
“When you are at camp you feel like a totally
different person. I like camp because it keeps kids
active and having fun. You can do more things at
camp than on the streets.”
– Christopher
OUR MISSION
SCOPE’s mission is to provide
children in need with the edge to
succeed in life through the summer
camp experience. We accomplish
this by funding summer camp
scholarships at nonprofit resident
camps where children will benefit
from a positive, safe and healthy
environment, led by excellent adult
role models who will help them
develop their full potential.
OUR BELIEF
By opening the door to summer
camp opportunities and with our
focus on education, we inspire
and empower SCOPE campers to
make positive contributions to their
communities and become selfsustaining adults.

FOUNDER’S MESSAGE
When we started SCOPE in 1991, we dreamed that we could give kids
from underserved communities a chance for a brighter future.
Since then, SCOPE has sent more than 25,000 children to summer camp.
SCOPE gives kids the enhanced self-esteem, confidence and resilience
they need. Camp is their reward for staying in school. Now, thanks to your
support, we promise every camper who graduates from high school a full
scholarship at a state university.
Over 50% of the children in communities served by SCOPE never finish
high school. Summer camp can offer these children new experiences that
can change their lives. Affluent children have benefitted from summer
camp for decades. The children in our underachieving communities need
those benefits even more. And they need to know we care.
SCOPE is about giving kids an opportunity for the brighter future that all
children deserve – one child at a time.
Jay Jacobs
SCOPE Founder
Did you know that…
…high school drop-out rates for low income youth
are 4x greater than high income students.

MESSAGE FROM OUR LEADERSHIP
Dear Friends and Supporters
Summer camp empowers children to succeed not only academically but in
life. In 2013 with your support, SCOPE partnered with community agencies
and summer camps to provide life-enriching camp experiences for more
than 1200 children in the Northeast, Midwest and Southeast regions.
Our board’s dedication has enabled SCOPE to seek ways to expand our
mission and services to meet growing needs. Our focus reflects our mission
and goals and best defines the integration of formal school learning and
the experiential education provided by excellent summer camps. We
now support these children well beyond their camp years by providing
scholarship assistance for their college educations.
We thank our visionary board of directors, tireless volunteers and
dedicated staff. We also thank the many foundation partners, corporate
sponsors and individual donors for their generous and continued support,
which enables SCOPE to provide outstanding summer camp opportunities
for deserving children year after year.
With warm appreciation for your belief and ongoing support,
Mitch Reiter
President, SCOPE Board
Michele Friedman
Executive Director
Did you know that…
…in our first year, SCOPE sent 26 children to camp.
Today, we send 1,300 per year.

HOW SCOPE WORKS
Summer Camp Opportunities Promote Education (SCOPE)
SCOPE provides scholarship funding exclusively to ACA accredited, nonprofit resident camps with a focus on children in
need. Annual grant determinations depend on the success of SCOPE’s yearly fundraising by region. In addition campers that
return each summer through SCOPE and graduate from high school will be entitled to apply for college scholarships through
the Sanford Lavitt Education Fund.
For camps to qualify for SCOPE participation they must:
Have current ACA accreditation Be a nonprofit resident camp with current 501(c)(3) status
Provide a current operating permit issued by the Department of Health (or local equivalent)
For campers to qualify for SCOPE funding they must:
Qualify for USDA free or reduced price lunch Be enrolled in a public school
CHILDREN SERVED
The children served by SCOPE come from low income communities and reside in places with regional affiliates. SCOPE
believes that summer camp is an essential component of the year-round educational continuum and plays a critical role
in helping children from underserved communities to thrive. 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.
In order to participate in SCOPE, campers must:
Be ages 7-16 years old
Meet family income eligibility requirements established by the US Department of Agriculture for free or reduced-price
school lunch
Be enrolled in public school
Agree to comply with the registration procedures and rules and regulations of the chosen camp
Complete an application essay expressing their desire and motivation to attend resident camp

2013 REGIONAL UPDATES
Expanding Our Reach
SCOPE originated in the New York Tri-State Region (New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut) through the vision of
directors from the American Camp Association’s New York
Section (ACA-NY), and has since added three regional
affiliates in the Midwest, Southwest and Southeast.
SCOPE Midwest
In 2007, SCOPE began a national expansion initiative to
launch camp scholarship programs throughout the United
States. In partnership with Dayna Hardin and Dana Kite,
directors of Lake of the Woods-Greenwoods Camps and
Bradley Schwartz, owner of Banner Day Camp, as well as
camp directors and supporters from the Chicago area,
SCOPE Midwest was established as the first affiliate.
Since its inception, SCOPE Midwest has provided over
850 camp scholarships to children in need.
New York Annual Benefit Dinner
The Bradley Schwartz Campership Fund
Established by family and friends of Bradley Schwartz,
owner of Banner Day Camp and a co-founder of
SCOPE Midwest, the Bradley Schwartz Campership
Fund provides summer camp scholarships to honor the
memory of Brad Schwartz, who passed away in 2011. In
keeping with Brad’s dedication to SCOPE and passion for
its mission, the Fund provides scholarships for children
who attend camp through SCOPE Midwest. Since 2011,
more than $60,000 has been raised for the Fund.
SCOPE Southeast
SCOPE Southeast was established in 2011 to serve
the children in the Southeast. SCOPE administers the
program and allocations to regional camps. Through local
fundraising events, individual gifts, and foundation and
corporate support, SCOPE Southeast provided enriching
summer camp experiences to 75 children in 2013.

A NEW GENERATION OF LEADERS
The SCOPE - Young
Leadership Council (YLC)
THE SCOPE-YLC, the future leaders
of the organization, share their
love of camp and understand the
important role that summer camp
plays in the development of children.
This group of young professionals
engage their peers in fund-raising
events and projects that benefit
SCOPE’s mission.
The SCOPE- Junior
Leadership Council (JLC)
“This is where I belong.
People actually respect me
here. I feel safe here; I feel
like I should live here and
never leave.”
– Bria
The SCOPE-JLC is comprised of high
school and middle school students
who love summer camp and are
motivated to give other kids the
chance to have the same wonderful
camp experiences. With support
from their families and friends, these
young philanthropists create projects
that help raise funds for SCOPE.
Both the YLC and the JLC work to raise money to support SCOPE through a
variety of individual service projects and events. During the inaugural 2013 year,
JLC members Sydnee Schapiro, Joey Siegel and Madison Siegel, fundraised for
SCOPE through their Mitzvah projects. A YLC core committee was formed in New
York to begin to plan events for the upcoming year.

CAMPER SPOTLIGHT
Malika Esdelle: Former Camper and Current College Student
Malika is currently a college student at Brooklyn College pursuing her undergraduate degree in Mass Communications. As a child
growing up in New York City, she was provided with the opportunity to leave the city every summer for 11 years to attend camp
with a SCOPE funded campership. Malika believes that “camp has played a major role in my life and the building of my dreams.”
Going to camp was her chance to break out of her comfort zone and take risks. “I would get to go places that I probably would
have never gotten the opportunity to go and meet people that I probably would have never met if I didn’t attend camp. I built
such positive and long lasting relationships. Some of my best friendships and mentorships have developed because of being a
camp participant.”
As Malika navigates her way through young adulthood, she knows the valuable skills she learned at camp carry over to her
daily life. “Doing numerous group activates taught me leadership skills and how to be a valuable team player. Camp became a
home away from home, easily teaching me independence at a young age. Attending camp has been one of the most beautiful
and beneficial things that I have ever done. It has truly been a life changing experience. I think every child should have the
opportunity to experience going to camp and the amazing outcomes as well as outlets that it has to offer.”
Esdelle

THE BENEFITS OF CAMP
Studies have examined general learning loss among
students during the summer months and found
that the early learning gap among low-SES (SocioEconomic Status) students, has long-term achievement
consequences. 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 in need, as we have for over 20 years.
Summer camp has a wide range of proven benefits. While
unsupervised children run the risk of losing academic
ground, children who attend well-designed summer
camps can participate in educational experiences
that offer artistic, musical and athletic experiences;
adventurous outdoor environments; and excellent adult
role models. A recent ACA study shows that the benefits
of summer camp include:
enhanced positive identity and confidence
better social, physical and cognitive skills
increased independence and leadership.
These skills lead to academic achievement and can build
a resiliency against negative behaviors that may surface
later in children’s lives
“Lessons learned in textbooks can be reinforced
and extended by experiential learning in a natural
setting – as can kids’ awareness of the environment,
conservation and “greening” practices, such as
recycling. A family vacation at the cottage will get
kids outdoors, but it won’t provide them with the
focused peer group and the co-operative learning
chances of camp.”
