Summer Camp LIVE!

Jul 24, 2026

Did you miss our live look at the last day of Matènwa's summer camp? You can watch here!

Every July, our campus fills with music, games, storytelling, art, crafts, sports, dancing, and laughter as children from Matènwa and neighboring communities come together for summer camp. It’s some of the happiest, most joyful weeks of the year—and thanks to Matènwa supporters this year we welcomed more than 500 children from Matènwa and neighboring communities.

Now you can experience the joy of summer camp too. Watch Summer Camp LIVE! for a front-row seat to everything your kindness makes possible!
