Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Parents of children with emotional, behavioral, or mental health challenges struggle to get support and often feel alone because they cannot do things that other families can do, such as go on vacation. Camp Get-A-Way exists to provide a safe and non-judgemental camping experience for these families where they can rediscover the joy of being a family, connect with people in similar situations, and learn new skills to address these challenges.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We provide a 3-4 day camping experience where families get to participate in fun activities, such as tie-dye, arts and crafts, archery, and a campfire, among other things. We also offer quality training, support, and access to state representatives to help with access to services.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
This year, we are celebrating our 20th anniversary! Over this time, we have increased from providing one session per summer to up to three sessions. This year, we have three sessions scheduled around New York State from Spring-Fall.
