camp out for kids annual fundraiser
The Camp Out For Kids Annual Fundraiser is hosted in Chicago & celebrates the opportunities our donors, sponsors, and volunteers provide for our campers! Our event aims to further Camp Out for Kids’ mission & vision of closing the gap between racial & economic disparities and summer camp opportunities.
The 2026 Camp Out for Kids Annual Fundraiser Video
We are proud to share The Good Team — the video that premiered at our 2026 Camp Out for Kids All-Star Annual Fundraiser.
Through the voices and experiences of campers, this year's film explores a simple but powerful idea: every child deserves to be part of a team that believes in them. A team that saves them a seat, cheers them on, helps them grow, and reminds them they belong.
Summer camp is more than a place. It's where friendships are formed, confidence is built, and life-changing memories are made. The Good Team celebrates the mentors, counselors, donors, volunteers, and fellow campers who make those experiences possible.
Whether you joined us at this year's event or are watching for the first time, we invite you to experience the joy, connection, and impact that camp provides. Thank you for helping Camp Out for Kids ensure that more children have the opportunity to find their place on The Good Team.
