City Of Fremont: Recreation Scholarship Donations

Press release from the City of Fremont:

March 23, 2021

With summer fast approaching and remote learning taking a toll on children’s ability to socialize and participate in physical activity, Fremont Recreation is looking to businesses and individuals to support our scholarship program to help provide youth in the community the needed emotional, social, and physical connection through summer camps and programs.

Each year a large portion of our scholarships are supported by Fremont’s local businesses. Without these donations many local children would not be able to enjoy summer camps. Peter Scales, Ph.D., a senior fellow with the Search Institute in Minneapolis, and a noted educator, author, and psychologist, says, "Camp is one of the few institutions where young people can experience and satisfy their need for physical activity, creative expression and true participation in a community environment.” With your support, 100% of your donation will be used for Fremont’s low-income families who need support to enroll their children in programs such as swim lessons, summer camps, enrichment classes, and more.

Consider making an individual donations online. For larger donors, please contact Lance Scheetz via email for the many benefits you may be eligible to receive.
