Camp Footprint Camp Footprints Camp Footprints is a non-profit camp for children located in the scenic hills of Yucaipa, California. The camp runs for ten days in June and is attended by children with varying developmental disabilities, as well as children who live below the poverty line.
All kids come to camp on a scholarship and all of the camp's staff members, are volunteers.
Camp Footprints was conceived eight years ago, by college students in Southern California, who were frustrated with the way that their age group was typically represented in the media. In an effort to enact change in their community they began running a camp for children with developmental disabilities. After a few years the camp began to define itself as a camp for all children, where kids who normally wouldn't meet get a chance to learn and grow together. Each year around 50 campers get a chance to be a part of a team, play sports, swim, act in skits, strut their stuff in a talent show and get the most out of their summer. Without programs like the USD Charity Art Auction, Camp Footprints would never become a reality.
