The Arc of Essex County is grateful to announce the recent awarding of two grants that will help support the Camp Hope summer day camp program.

The Orange Orphan Society has granted $15,000 to Camp Hope, with $11,700 going toward the Camp Hope fee assistance program for young campers from Maplewood and the Oranges, and $3,300 going toward camp equipment.

In addition, the Thomas and Agnes Carvel Foundation granted $10,000 toward general operating support for Camp Hope.

The Arc thanks the Orange Orphan Society and the Thomas and Agnes Carvel Foundation for their generous contributions to Camp Hope, which will help make the summer all the more wonderful for our campers.
