How to Donate

Your Donation Can Change a Young Woman’s Future

A donation to Camp Courage does far more than send a young woman to camp. It opens her eyes to possibilities she may never have considered and gives her the opportunity to discover just how capable she is.

Your support can help a young woman:

• Broaden her perspective and discover new possibilities for her future.
• Build confidence, independence and resilience.
• Recognize that her opportunities — and her potential — are far greater than she may have imagined.
• Experience the excitement of challenging herself and the pride that comes from overcoming obstacles.
• Learn directly from strong, accomplished role models in emergency services.
• Build a network of mentors and supporters who believe in her potential.
• Develop leadership, teamwork, communication and problem-solving skills.
• Explore meaningful careers in fire, police, paramedicine and other emergency and public-safety services.

Your support also reaches far beyond each individual participant.

By investing in these young women, you are helping to develop our future leaders, strengthen our emergency services and build a workforce that better reflects the communities it serves.

The Ripple Effect

Camp Courage is 100% free for participants, ensuring that financial circumstances do not prevent a deserving young woman from having this opportunity.

But we also ask something of them.

As part of the application process, participants write about how they can improve the life of someone less fortunate or make their community a better place.

They don’t simply talk about making a difference — they do it.

Over the years, Camp Courage participants have supported youth, seniors, people experiencing homelessness, people living with physical and intellectual challenges, their communities and the environment.

The result is a ripple effect that extends far beyond the days they spend at Camp Courage.

Empower one young woman and you can influence a family, a workplace, an emergency service and an entire community.

Together, we can help develop confident, capable, compassionate young people with strong values who understand both their potential and their responsibility to help others.

Help Create the Next Opportunity

Your donation helps keep Camp Courage free and makes it possible for another young woman to challenge herself, discover new possibilities and see what she is truly capable of achieving.

Invest in a young woman today. You may be helping to develop tomorrow’s firefighter, police officer, paramedic, community leader — or simply a stronger, more confident person who goes on to make a difference in ways none of us can yet imagine.
