About the provider

Project Morry is a ten-year commitment to each student beginning in grade 4 and continuing through high school graduation. For more than 20 years, Project Morry has delivered a youth development program. Its mission is to empower young people from under-resourced communities to envision and establish a positive future. The camp community supports Project Morry through Camps that Give, with private camps and campers/families fundraising, and through Kids that Give, with young campers taking part in acts of kindness and group efforts.

• Camps that Give
• Kids that Give

The program is divided into two stages: grade 4-7 and grade 8-12. Activities are tailored to the age of the children. Campers can engage in creative programs, educational challenges, and traditional camp activities. The social justice program is for teens. The Harris Sherman Project is for older male campers. Carol’s Circle is for girls.

What families say

“The perfect age is “9” because you get more responsibility and you still get treated like a kid.” — Kelvin – CT – Undergrad participant

“It is an honor and privilege to attend Project Morry, because not everyone can go. You have to earn the chance to attend each year. At Project Morry, you learn from the people around you.” — Daniel – CT – Post Grad Participant

“Morry’s dream is inspiring. Every time I hear it, I feel like I carry his legacy and so do my little brothers. Morry wasn’t just a man, he was the start of something big, bigger than the camp, bigger than the lake.” — Jennifer – NY, NY – Post Grad participant
