About

The Easton Area Community Center offers an 8-week, full day summer camp for the children in the area. We offer them the summer camp at a fraction of the average price compared to the rest of the state, taking into consideration they are coming from low income, and single parent homes. We do this with a heavy reliance on donors and sponsors. The 8-week program cost $2,500 per child, with us charging the families only $400 per child. We count on partnerships with programs in the area, corporate donations, and profit we make with our fundraisers to help cover as much of the cost as we can. Each year the cost is increasing, and those willing to sponsor are fewer and fewer, which makes it an increasingly difficult task.

Easton Area Community Center

This non-profit as a 70+ year history of providing for the underprivileged and doing so while making the programs and facilities accessible to the family in price, and extended hours. They have a dedicated core of volunteers who reach over 500 kids during the year, with around 100 students coming through the doors during the summer camp program. They charge 20% of what those in the surrounding area charge and offer the exact same services: 1 field trip a week, pool visits, and special guests/programs to entertain the kids.

Keep the same standards as in the past-keeping the cost low- is strain on the budgeting and fundraising programs. They try to combat this through a gala event end of year, ticket sales for sporting events, raffles, auctions, car washes, golf events etc. but there is always a shortage when it comes to the final cost for the Sumner camp.
