How to Sponsor a Local Student for Camp in Northwest Florida

A camp sponsorship gives a middle school student access to a week of learning, confidence-building, and new possibility. Guiding Wave Foundation is focused on removing the cost barriers that keep local students from participating.

What a Sponsorship Covers

A full $2,000 sponsorship covers camp tuition, transportation, and essentials. Donors may also give toward part of the cost, including $1,500 for camp tuition or $500 for transportation and essentials.

Who the Campaign Serves

Students are recommended by school counselors and selected through a needs-based process. The campaign is focused on public and charter middle school students in Escambia County and Santa Rosa County as fundraising allows.

Why the Match Matters

Donations are matched dollar-for-dollar up to $100,000, which means each gift can help twice as many students reach an educational overnight camp experience.

How to Give

The fastest path is the secure donation page. Civic groups, businesses, churches, and families can also contact Guiding Wave Foundation to discuss sponsoring one student or multiple students.
