Thrive For Shriver - Support Camp Shriver!
Help Camp Shriver Thrive by Participating in one of our Challenges!
Join Camp Shriver for the Thrive for Shriver Challenge! We challenge you to join us for one or more of our series of activities to raise funds for Camp Shriver. Your donation will directly support our campers, as Camp Shriver scales back up to our pre-pandemic levels of serving 120-140 campers, 50% with a disability, this summer!
Additionally, a donation to our Thrive for Shriver campaign will help support our Boston Marathon program, ensuring that Camp Shriver continues our strong partnership with the Boston Athletic Association with a team in the marathon.
We Challenge You: To serve at capacity, we need your help. Your challenge is to join #ThriveForShriver for one or more of our events this year and help our campers thrive!
