Description
The Robert and Helen Harmony Fund for Needy Children, administered by The Dayton Foundation, provides quality camping opportunities for children whose financial circumstances would otherwise prevent them from attending camp. Established by the Harmonys in 1993, the fund supports camperships for children from Montgomery, Greene, Clark, Darke, Miami, Preble, Butler and Warren counties in Ohio.
The fund focuses on resident camps offering a broad range of nature and recreational activities, rather than nature programming alone. Its emphasis on quality includes properly trained staff and accreditation for the camping season. Medical and specialty camps offering residential programs for children are also encouraged to apply.
