About Project Kindle
Project Kindle operates Camp Kindle, a therapeutic summer camp headquartered in Santa Clarita, California, for children and adolescents facing significant health challenges.
Project Kindle provides free camping for young people impacted by HIV/AIDS and other health conditions. The organization began as a one-week summer camp in Nebraska in 1998. Camp Kindle expanded to a western U.S. session in 2005.
Camp Kindle serves over 5,000 campers through its programs. The camp educates more than 24,000 students through outreach programs. Camp activities combine traditional summer camp with wellness, math, science, music, and art.
Camp Kindle pairs participants one-on-one with counselors. The high staff-to-camper ratio meets individual needs. The organization hosts virtual 'Kindle Nights' on Zoom for community support.
