The Salvation Army Summer Camps are part of The Salvation Army’s network of free summer camps that allow kids of all ages, despite their family’s income level, to have a summer camp experience. Most summer camps accept state-provided child care subsidies, and scholarships are available to help families offset the cost. The programs are described as free summer camp programs so kids can be kids and are designed to spark curiosity and collaboration and foster education. The Salvation Army notes that summer camp can provide a beneficial reprieve from nature deprivation.

The Salvation Army states that its camp counselors are trained to recognize the effects of the stressors of poverty on children and respond to a child’s emotional needs. The Salvation Army describes itself as one of the largest social service providers in the United States and as being committed to serving neighbors in need of assistance in every zip code throughout the nation. The Salvation Army describes itself as an international movement and an evangelical part of the universal Christian Church, with a message based on the Bible, a ministry motivated by the love of God, and a mission to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination.
