Review for The Felix Organization, Locust Valley, NY, USA
This organization changes the lives of children in the most profound way and plants seeds of hope for children in the foster care system. Once a year children in the foster care system are allowed to be kids that aren't different. At Camp Felix they are a part of a family and a community that nurtures their development throughout the year. Since 2006, THE FELIX ORGANIZATION has sent over 700 children to CAMP FELIX for one or two week sessions. Our goal is to continue to send an increasing number of children to CAMP FELIX each year and to nurture and encourage them throughout the year with additional, inspiring opportunities.
Camp Felix is located in Putnam Valley, New York and some of the activities provided at camp include: basketball, swimming, softball, arts and crafts, drama, yoga, to name a few. Because we have had such incredible success throughout the years, we have initiated a Counselor in Training program for campers who are no longer of age to attend FELIX but can still be part of the experience in a leadership role. "BEYOND CAMP" also addresses individual year round needs of some of these children.
As we expand our horizons, we hope that you will join us in our effort. You can help make a positive change or new beginning for these children. Many have no one to take them to the movies, to ball games, to check their homework, to help them make healthy life choices. We have the opportunity to mentor and guide this next generation to dream a bigger dream of a life they never imagined.
