Want to Help Out

At DHBDC, our mission is to provide an enriching summer camp experience to every child, regardless of their circumstances. However, as a non-profit organization, we cannot achieve this goal without the generous support of our community. We strive to ensure that no child is turned away due to financial constraints, and your tax-deductible donation, no matter the amount, will directly contribute to making this camp accessible to all children in our community.

Additionally, we are actively seeking passionate individuals to volunteer their time and expertise as teachers, assistant coaches, or general staff members. Your involvement can profoundly impact the lives of our campers, providing them with invaluable opportunities for personal growth, academic development, and character-building.
