HiStoRY
SCOPE was the founded in 1991 by camp directors from the American Camp
Association’s New York Section (ACA-NY) who were motivated by their belief in
the educational and developmental benefits of camp. They recognized the need
to provide equivalent camping opportunities to all children – regardless of their
socio-economic background – and thus established the SCOPE program in an
effort to do so.
Over the years, SCOPE has experienced extraordinary growth and positive
change. In 2005, the SCOPE Board of Directors, in cooperation with the Board of
the ACA-NY, determined that SCOPE could achieve even greater potential as its
own entity – separate and apart from the ACA-NY. Therefore, the SCOPE program
became its own charitable organization, while still maintaining close ties to ACANY. With the addition of an Executive Director and an Assistant Director, the
organization embarked on a campaign to expand fund-raising and publicity.
In 1992, SCOPE’s first summer, 26 children received camperships. Since
that time, the funds raised from SCOPE supporters and at annual fundraising
events have provided 8,700 underserved children with a two-week summer
camp experience. In summer 2006, SCOPE provided over 1400 children with the
opportunity to attend one of our partner camps.

FoundeR’S meSSAge
What SCOPE does is very simple: SCOPE provides hope. For thousands
of economically disadvantaged children living every day in parts of our
community that few of us dare to walk through, the promise of a summer
away at camp provides a measure of hope that maybe, just maybe,
tomorrow might be a better day. And, it’s not just the “tomorrow” spent
away at camp, that SCOPE brings, but the possibility of many brighter
tomorrows one can achieve when they strive for something better.
When over 50% of the children in communities served by SCOPE never
finish high school, SCOPE was established as the antidote to the despair
and cycle of failure now rampant in our underperforming communities. SCOPE rewards children
for staying in school with a summer at camp. And, once in camp, they are embraced by the strong
supervision of camp professionals working to instill solid values, build their social skills and enhance
their self-esteem, self-confidence and resilience – all key building blocks to becoming a successful,
contributing member of society.
The camp community and those who understand and embrace the values that a camp experience
can provide have, through SCOPE, made a commitment to improving our future, one child at a time.
Over 1400 children each summer benefit from a camp experience that SCOPE provides. Together, we
have created hope for thousands of children over the years and, I trust, for most, a better life reaching
for the American dream that we all cherish so much.

pReSident’S meSSAge
The summer of 2006 marked SCOPE’s 15th anniversary and our first as a separate charitable
organization from ACA-NY. While most of us either spent the summer enjoying life at the beach
or enmeshed in the daily operation of our camps, hundreds of deserving children attended one of
35 not-for-profit resident camps through the auspices of SCOPE. I am happy to report, that with
your support, SCOPE funded camperships for over 1400 children in need….a record number!
This past year has been a whirlwind!
With the professional team of Michele Friedman, Executive Director and Stephanie Abrams,
Assistant Director, and an expanded board of directors, SCOPE embarked on an ambitious
campaign to expand fund-raising and awareness in order to send twice as many children to camp
in 2007. Our fund-raising goals went beyond expectations with a record-breaking contribution from the Camp Brooklyn
initiative, which raised $125,000 for SCOPE to administer for this past summer. Borough President Marty Markowitz has
been an incredible advocate for SCOPE, and through his efforts, he has funded 775 first-time Brooklyn campers to attend
SCOPE camps over the last six summers. We were also proud to welcome Yankee Captain, Derek Jeter’s Turn 2 Foundation
which provided funding for 120 children to attend three SCOPE camps last summer as a complement to the Foundation’s
year-round after school program.
Many new foundation partners joined the ranks of our growing list of supporters. Through the efforts of SCOPE founder,
Jay Jacobs, the Charles B. Wang Foundation became a top-level donor. Long time supporters maintained or increased their
donations as well. The New York Mercantile Exchange Charitable Foundation, one of SCOPE’s original foundation partners,
continues to be a top-tier funder. In addition, long-time supporters increased their donations. The Heckscher Foundation
for Children and the Sehorn Foundation each doubled their commitment in 2006.
We also have been very successful in connecting with new supporters outside and within the camp community, and that
initiative continues to grow. Broadening the donor base will help SCOPE realize its ambitious plans to double the number of
children it sends to camp from 980 in 2005 to approximately 2,000 in 2007. It has already made much progress toward this
goal; the number of camperships awarded increased 50% from 2005 to 2006!
I am proud to be part of this outstanding organization and wish to thank my colleagues on the Board of Directors for
their commitment to SCOPE. It is my pleasure to work with our visionary Executive Director, Michele Friedman and her
dedicated staff, Stephanie Abrams and Wendy Shand. And I wish to thank all of you…our donors and volunteers… for your
continued belief in the benefits of camp for all children.

SCOPE Annual Report 2006
eXeCutive diReCtoR’S RepoRt
In 2006, more than1400 children left behind the noisy, hot city streets and attended 35 resident
camps through the generosity of SCOPE donors. The lives of these children were positively
affected by the experience of being in the out-of-doors, getting involved in new and enriching
activities, and having an opportunity to learn from caring adult role models.
Although SCOPE started in 1991, this past year was the official beginning of a new organization,
and we had such lofty goals! Not only were we dedicated to raising more money for camperships,
we also wanted to raise the bar in our communications with our donors and the camp community.
2006 saw the launch of our newsletter, “SCOPE Matters”, in which we keep our constituents
informed and connected to our events and progress. The response has been so positive on all
fronts, that it seemed like SCOPE really has turned the corner and become a mature not-for-profit organization.
In partnership with ACA-NY, SCOPE received federal funding from two program grants. The Underage Drinking
Prevention Program, administered by ACA-NY, provided camperships for over 600 children through SCOPE. In addition,
the SCOPE Anti-Gang Empowerment program (SAGE), an awareness and prevention model, provided camp experiences and
year-round intervention for forty-four elementary age children.
There were so many wonderful days throughout the year. Camps held fund-raisers; young people donated portions of their
birthday and celebration gifts; long-time supporters and major donors renewed their dedication and belief; new foundation
and corporate partners joined our ranks; camp suppliers came through with unsolicited gifts; our wonderful board made
sure we had an outstanding DVD to help tell the S.C.O.P.E story; in-kind donors, Baseline Design and KidsCamps.com,
provided pro-bono services for marketing materials and web design…the list goes on and on.
I truly feel fortunate to be associated with staff members who are a dynamic team and make work a pleasure. To our
“sister organization”, ACA, New York, your support and camaraderie are invaluable resources. Finally, I offer my admiration
and utmost respect for members of our Board of Directors, whose belief in SCOPE for the first 15 years has enabled us to
meet with the success we presently enjoy. It is with deep appreciation that I thank all of you who contributed in the past.
Your ongoing support will continue to help children who need it the most.

Executive Director

SCope’S impACt
Educators in the camp industry understand that summer camp has a unique role to play in our overall system
of child development. An important adjunct to school, camp helps children develop self-esteem and social
skills, promotes intellectual growth in a non-academic setting, and provides children with a safe, structured
environment in which to mature.
Too few inner-city children benefit from the camp experience. Although scores of not-for-profit camps
in the region seek to serve these children, declining funding and increasing expenses have led to empty
beds, numerous camp closings, and too many idle children roaming the city streets. Only by harnessing
new resources will we be able to offer children in need the same educational opportunities that are routinely
available to their more affluent counterparts. Unfortunately, low-income, inner-city children who would most
benefit from a summer camp experience are too often unable to attend. SCOPE seeks to provide these children
with a summer camp opportunity that can be transforming.
“Each year I
learn something
new. I grow as
a person and
learn more about
myself and
about others.”

SCOPE Annual Report 2006
CHildRen We SeRve
The children served by SCOPE are economically disadvantaged youth whose
families cannot afford to provide them with a summer camp experience. Through
SCOPE, children escape from the urban setting to secure environments which
foster positive self-esteem, strong self-confidence, and appropriate social skills.
SCOPE affords these children the opportunity to leave the boredom, pollution,
and potential dangers of a city summer and instead experience a supervised,
caring community surrounded by positive adult role models. SCOPE gives innercity children the opportunity to have a challenging and constructive summer.
In order to participate in SCOPE, campers must:
• be 7-16 years old
• meet family income eligibility requirements established by the United States
Department of Agriculture for free or reduced-price school lunch
• complete an application essay expressing their desire and motivation to go to
resident camp
• be enrolled in a New York, New Jersey, or Pennsylvania public school
• agree to comply with the registration procedures and rules and regulations of
the chosen camp
“…I have waited for summer to come just so I could go back to camp. I think
about camp almost every day. Camp helps kids more than we realize…”

Eligibility
SCOPE was developed not only to help children, but also as a response to the increased need for funding and
support for camps in the not-for-profit sector. In an effort to provide a valuable experience for economically
disadvantaged children, through the provision of camperships, SCOPE continues its dedication to fund-raising
and program designs which promote camp as a complementary adjunct to formal education. Camps are chosen
based on their adherence to these ideals, as demonstrated in their written materials, organizational goals or
mission statements, and their expressed commitment to providing quality summer camp experiences.
Camps must demonstrate that they provide safe opportunities for their campers to benefit from an enriching,
character-building and educational experience. Only not-for-profit camps accredited by the American Camp
Association (ACA) may participate in the program. Camps that are accredited must meet national standards in
camp operation, quality of program and facilities, staff qualifications, and health and safety.
Participating camps must verify that they:
• Have current 501c3 status as issued by the Internal Revenue Service, and
• Had a valid Operating Permit for the previous summer as issued by the New York State Department of
Health (or appropriate permits from corresponding state or local agencies in New Jersey, Connecticut or
Pennsylvania and will have a valid Permit for the upcoming summer).
By providing camperships for eligible campers, SCOPE is supporting the participating not-for-profit camps
that are facing funding challenges. Despite SCOPE’s success, most not-for-profit camps continue to operate
well below capacity. Our goal for the future is to place a child in need in every empty bunk.

SCOPE administers funds raised by “CAMP BROOKLYN”, a joint venture of the Best of Brooklyn, Inc. and the Office of Brooklyn
Borough President, Marty Markowitz. This program seeks to make camp available to Brooklyn residents who are first-time campers and
cannot otherwise afford the camp experience. Camps that receive this special funding are noted with an asterisk (*) on previous page.
“in tHe CitY”
In the city you have lights no lamp,
In camp you see the grass so damp.
In the city you see men fight over money,
In camp you see bears love over honey.
In the city it’s like short sleeves because you “bare arms”,
In camp all you ever see is a bear’s arms.
In the city you see people hating the world,
In camp you see people playing with the birds.
In the city you live in the ‘hood,
In camp you live in the woods.
In the city it’s all about drugs,
In camp it’s all about bugs.
In the city people get shot,
In camp you see new interesting rocks.
In the city what you see is a bunch of gangs,
In camp you may see animal fangs.
But, regardless if I wake up staring at the ceiling
And, I’m alive,
That would be a beautiful feeling!
From: B.B. aka “Bugz”
Your support for “Bugz” and the hundreds of children who went to
camp through SCOPE this past summer is greatly appreciated!

“Camp has changed my life in such a big way. Growing up as a child, I used to make
choices and decisions and lived life for only that day because tomorrow was never
promised. Thanks to the opportunities SCOPE has blessed me with, I now make
different choices and decisions and live life for tomorrow, because some way, somehow,
I know that tomorrow will be better than the previous day.”—Camp Counselor and former SCOPE camper

Winter Event for Young Professionals
What else can warm you better on a cold winter night then a gathering with camp friends! On January 26th, over
200 young professionals turned out at Strata in New York City, to support SCOPE. Justin Mayer and Molly Hott,
event co-chairs, and their hard working committee raised $20,000 through event donations, sponsor-a-child
pledges and the ultimate silent auction! The Winter Event brings together young professionals who believe in the
benefits of camp. This group will someday be SCOPE’s new leadership.

Annual Benefit Dinner
In 2006 the Benefit Dinner moved to Atlantic City, New Jersey, the new home of the Tri-State Camp Conference.
Admittedly, with the change of venue of the annual dinner from the known (New York Hilton) to the unknown
(Trump Marina in Atlantic City), we were all anxious as to whether the dinner would attract as many people as it
did in past years. We are thrilled to report that thanks to the many caring and generous people who supported
this worthwhile event, we packed the ballroom of the Trump Marina!
Ross Coleman, Dinner Chair, and the entire committee went over the top attending to every detail to make
the evening perfect. In addition to raising awareness and connections, the dinner was the highlight of our fundraising year, with proceeds exceeding $179,000. Our dinner sponsors continue to support SCOPE in so many
ways. Thanks to Camp America, Camp Counselors USA and Pierce Country Day Camp for underwriting this gala
event attended by more than 400 people.
The dinner program featured the induction of the 2006 Legends of Camping – Ralph Hittman, Ruth Wortman,
Bob Gersten, and Hughie Black; and the Ben Appelbaum Advocate for Youth Award Recipient, Alex’s Lemonade
Stand Foundation, an organization started by a child to help find a cure for pediatric cancer.
“The dinner is the
highlight of SCOPE’s
fund-raising year
and a great venue for
connecting with the
camp community.”

THE 9TH ANNUAL GOLF INVITATIONAL
The prestigious Glen Head Country Club in Glen Head, Long Island, was the setting for the 9th Annual
SCOPE Golf Outing…our most successful yet, raising over $30,000 to cap off our fund-raising year. On
September 25th, over 100 friends of SCOPE spent a fabulous day golfing for the benefit of children!
The weather was perfect, and the food and drinks were plentiful and delicious, from the huge buffet
breakfast to the most elaborate cocktail reception and outdoor dinner. It was a great day of golf and a
terrific way for folks to reconnect after the summer. Event gifts were generously underwritten by The Dime
Bank, through the auspices of bank president Gary Beilman, a true camp supporter.
Congratulations to Douglas Todd, ChFC, Net Worth Management, Inc., Event Chair, for making the Golf
Outing such a huge success!
