Description
The Robert and Helen Harmony Fund for Needy Children supports quality camping experiences for children from financially disadvantaged backgrounds residing in specific Ohio counties. The fund provides annual "camperships" to help these children attend accredited residential camps that offer a broad range of nature and recreational programs. Both general and specialty/medical residential camps are eligible, provided they meet the fund's requirements for accreditation and staffing. The goal is to ensure that children who would otherwise miss out due to financial need can participate in enriching camp experiences.
