​​Donate Now (early & late donations are amazing)

Your donation gives kids life long friends that they would never meet.

Every donation helps kids that would normally never have a chance to come to camp experience the magic of Kenwood & Evergreen.

My name is Jack, I am the new guy on Brass (what the kids call the admin team).

The campers clown me for introducing myself too much and desperately trying to learn everyone’s name.

I am falling in love with this place, the history, and the possible future.

One thing that clearly makes K&E so special is the family that is built on Eagle Pond every summer and the text threads that are still active 20, 30, 40 years later.

I am just starting to see this magic that you know so well.

When you donate to Mickey’s Kids you give more kids a place in that family.

Thank you!

Same school of thought

Summer Matters Inspiring confident, kind kids & forever friendships Sometimes I wonder if we’re getting this right. I mean, not really, I know we’re getting it right. But it’s not like there’s a report card for camps, or a panel of camp judges showing up in August to score how we did overall. We put a lot of thought into how summer is structured. What the days look like, what kids leave with, whether all of it adds up. And then a big part of the job is trusting it’s the best way to run…

3 minutes. 3 hours. 3 days.

Summer Matters Inspiring confident, kind kids & forever friendships 3 minutes. 3 hours. 3 days. 3 weeks. 3 months. 3 years. 3 decades. Playing a little fast and loose with timelines, but that seems pretty close to what the independence milestones look like for a kid growing up. A camp friend passed these timelines on to me, and I thought they tracked. Let’s break them down. 3 minutes is the first time you feel comfortable leaving your kid out of your sight (maybe in a crib, or a playpen…

Mo money, mo meetings

Summer Matters Inspiring confident, kind kids & forever friendships I’m going to say three things, all true, and that seem completely disconnected. Most people hate going to meetings (me included).
