contribute today to help us get immigrant and low income campers to summer camp
WE COULDN'T DO THIS WITHOUT YOU!
Immigrant children that attend our Summer Camp are able to meet and interact with other children.
They are able to practice their English- and share Spanish with our English speaking campers!
They are able to find a place that feels fun and safe outside of their family homes in this new town far from their native lands.
And of extreme importance, they are able to spend time on a FARM.
Through this fundraiser, we are providing immigrant children with a safe place to learn, grow, and build connections with both the community and land.
Our progress so far: HALFWAY to our goal!
We are immensely proud of these accomplishments, and of our beloved community for making this happen, and we hope that you are too!
We have A DOZEN more immigrant children who would like to join us for EACH of the remaining weeks.
A story of success
Immigrant children are receiving a transformative social experience from attending summer camp, that they likely otherwise could not have.
One small girl arrived in Kingston with her family just months ago.
Her English is almost non-existent, and she did not have any friends in this strange new land. Yet, she was willing to try out our Summer Camp knowing that a counselor-in-training would be there to help her translate in Spanish and Q'equchi'...
Because of her time at Seed Song Camp:
Breaking Down Our Costs
For ONE immigrant or low-income child to attend our summer camp, it costs approximately $500 per week. This includes:
-Tuition & extra staff
-Transportation costs
-Food & meal preparation
As we bring in from 7-12 campers every week, we quickly exhaust our funds.
Because of your support, we are able to provide local immigrant and low-income children with an immersive experience that greatly impacts the quality of their time here in Kingston.
Beyond that, it relieves their parents and caregivers from burdening financial and childcare stress.
We appreciate each and every one of you- and thank you for continuously supporting our mission and community.
Together, in real time, we are enriching Seed Song‘s mission to ensure that the bounty of the land we steward, both the produce and the experiences, benefit the entire multi-colored fabric of our neighbors from around the world, regardless of income.

Because of her time at Seed Song Camp:
- She met a friend who lives nearby AND speaks her same two languages.
- Her mother and aunt had more time to work
- Her English is progressing well due to social interactions and connections made at the farm!
