Provide a Summer of Wonder!
With your help, HomeFront can ensure that every child has a summer to remember, filled with joy, laughter, and priceless experiences.
Make a gift today.
For children and families experiencing housing instability, summer can be a challenging time: lack of childcare, food insecurity, and more. Thanks to the support of our caring community, we provide a safe, nurturing environment for children to learn, try new activities, build confidence, and make lasting friendships.
Camp Mercer, our eight-week day camp, serves children aged 5-15. Mornings are devoted to academics and the afternoons are devoted to fun and relaxation. We can't forget about weekly field trips!
Sadly, government funding for children’s programming and summer camps is limited, so we rely on the generosity of our supporters to continue this vital work. It costs $375 to sponsor a camper for a week and $3,000 for the full eight weeks.

This year’s theme, “Music Makers and Soul Shakers,” uses music, creativity, and self-expression to help children build resilience, leadership skills, confidence, and meaningful connections. Through traditional camp experiences combined with intentional social and emotional learning, campers are encouraged to discover their strengths and thrive.
