🌞 Macaroni KID Summer Camp Scholarship Giveaway

Partnering with Local Camps to Give Back to Families

By Toni Hill | Publisher February 18, 2026

Summer camp is where friendships are built, confidence grows, creativity explodes, and kids discover new passions. But we also know that for some families, the cost of camp can make those opportunities feel just out of reach.

That’s why this year, Macaroni KID is proud to partner with three incredible local camps to offer Summer Camp Scholarships to families in our community.

This is our way of giving back — and we hope to grow this into a yearly program that includes even more camps in the future. 💛

Scholarship recipients will be selected at random from eligible entries, and we kindly ask that families apply only if they feel this opportunity would truly help them financially this summer.

🌞 Why We’re Doing This

Macaroni KID exists to connect families to local opportunities — and sometimes that means removing barriers.

We are incredibly grateful to these camp partners for stepping up and making this possible. Their generosity is what makes this program work.

We hope to continue this initiative annually and expand it to include even more local camps next year.
