You can sponsor a child's participation in the DiSYPles summer youth program at BCM with our new Campership initiative!

Children from lower-income families are less likely to participate in summer programs, with parents citing cost as a major barrier.

According to a recent survey, 38% of families making less than $50,000 per year said their child participated in a structured activity during the summer in 2023, compared to 67% of parents making $100,000 or more — nearly a 30% gap (Gallup Poll). We strive to keep the DiSYPles summer program free of charge for our families. Here's how your donation can make an impact:

Cover Basic Supplies 🔎

BCM offers STEM and art-based activities for campers throughout the summer. Your contribution of $25 helps our team purchase project supplies.

Support Food Costs 🍎️

DiSYPles seeks to address childhood hunger by providing two free hot meals per day for youth. $125 meaningfully supports food costs for several campers.

Assist with Transportation 🚌

Planned outings allow our campers to enjoy the city during the summer! Your gift of $250 enables us to afford bus rentals for field trips.

Fully Sponsor a Camper!

$500 sponsors a camper for the entire six week program, covering the full cost of their meals and snacks, field trips, and supplies.
