The ELCA Outreach Center Summer Camp 2026 relies on the giving of others.
For more than 25 years, the ELCA Outreach Center’s Summer Camp has been a place of joy, growth, and opportunity for children in our community.
Today, that tradition is at risk.
Due to a $25,000 reduction in grant funding, we face the heartbreaking possibility of canceling our 2026 Summer Camp at Brass Community School.
Each summer, 60–75 elementary students count on this program.
In partnership with the Kenosha Unified School District, Kenosha Public Library, and the YMCA, we provide a safe, nurturing environment where children build friendships, explore STEM activities, take field trips to places like Hawthorn Hollow and the Racine Zoo, and gain critical water safety skills through YMCA swimming lessons.
For many of these children, camp is the highlight of their year. It encourages summer school attendance, supports academic growth, and gives kids a place where they feel seen, supported, and inspired.
“I loved everything about camp! I loved the teachers, field trips, and activities we did at Brass!”
