Junior Leadership Council (JLC)

SCOPE provides children from underserved communities with life-changing opportunities through the experience of summer camp.

We fund camp scholarships “camperships” to send children who commit to staying in school to nonprofit resident camps which will empower them to develop to their full potential and have the same experience you do at summer camp.

By being a member of the JLC you will earn community service credit by helping provide children from underserved communities with the opportunity to explore outside the boundaries of their home life and experience the magic of summer camp.

The mission of the JLC is to increase awareness of SCOPE at the middle and high school level and in our surrounding

communities in order to help raise funds for camp scholarships.

“Our goal as the JLC is for all children to have the opportunity to experience summer camp, just as we have.” -SCOPE JLC

“The reason I want to go to camp is to get out of the environment. Where I'm from it's kind of hard to go outside and be with your friends. I go to camp to leave my neighborhood.” - SCOPE Camper

QUOTES FROM THE JLC’S…

“I got involved in the JLC because I know how special it is to have camp in my life. Camp allows me to make memories and connections that I will never forget. I want to be able to give this same experience to others.”- Jenna (Camp Blue Ridge)

“I had such a rewarding experience attending sleepaway camp, I am excited to help provide other children with the same experience and SCOPE is a terrific organization.”- Ellie (Camp Blue Ridge)

“Camp is an important part of my life, and it would make me feel so good if you could help me give a less fortunate child the opportunity to have the summer of a lifetime at a sleep away camp too.”-Brett (Camp Scatico)

SCOPE JLC GROUP PROJECTS

The JLC’s donated and packed 200 Camp Survival Packs that are filled with new summer camp essentials such as shampoo, sunscreen, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap and will be given out to SCOPE campers while they’re having the time of their lives at camp.

“Summer camp is the greatest place on Earth because when you’re there everything around you is isn’t important; you’re oblivious to the outside world by just living and enjoying the moment. Kids from underserved communities can benefit from the same camp experience by being able to enjoy what’s in front of them and not worry about the outside.” – Evan (Camp Towanda) Evan's Camp Story >
