Individually, Phi Kappa Tau's philanthropy program is impressive for its focus and impact. It is an honor and inspiration to showcase this excellent program. At the 1998 Leadership Academy, Foundation Executive Vice President, Bill Jenkins, announced a new initiative to give Phi Kappa Tau members a unique opportunity to serve children in need. In The Wall Gang Camps. The decision to provide the stipends was made in response to the need for the camps to have additional male camp counselors.
Counselors receive room, board and a small salary.
Unfortunately, because of escalating educational costs, many members must choose higher paying summer jobs and forego the opportunity to work as a counselor. The Foundation is committed to providing much needed financial assistance to students so they may spend their summers giving sick kids the chance to have a normal summer camping experience. In The Wall Gang Camps. The response to this new initiative has been positive. Members are already securing applications for positions.
