About Camp Kind
Camp Kind - founded in 2015 - is a unique day camp experience that offers children the opportunity to spend a week (or more) during their long summer vacation giving back to the community by engaging in diverse and exciting volunteering projects at Denver area non-profits.
In addition to Volunteer Field Trips, throughout the week, campers participate in numerous in-camp Kindness Workshops.
