April Campaign Partner Toolkit
What Different Can Do is an awareness campaign aimed at addressing the rising anxiety levels among our children today by fostering a culture of inclusivity and character-building.
In addition to the detrimental impact being sidelined, marginalized, isolated, or bullied has on a child’s self-esteem, confidence, and mental health, kids are often on small screens and bombarded with stimuli that can contribute to anxiety and depression. At Camp Southern Ground, we’ve made it our mission to provide a space that is completely digital-free, allowing children to unplug and reconnect with nature and one another.
By bringing children from diverse backgrounds together in an inclusive environment, we create opportunities for them to learn from one another, appreciate different perspectives, and ultimately, understand that it’s our differences that make us stronger together.
Thank you for joining Camp Southern Ground for this engaging campaign. With your help, more than 700 children will benefit from the changing experience of summer camp.
