- Sunnyside Foundation for those in Texas, can support travel as well
- High Oaks, Inc. for those in the Mid/Atlantic US (includes NY, NJ, PA, DE, MD, VA and DC)

Acts of Gratitude:

- One letter should come from the camper and another from the guardian.
- The letter should address:
- Highlights: What the camper enjoyed most about camp;
- Growth: How the camper grew in his/her relationship to God, application of Christian Science, and Christian character.
- Gratitude: Any special message you want to convey to the donors and any ways you are living your gratitude in through your actions at home, church, and school.
