To provide children of the incarcerated with a caring, safe, and healthy environment that promotes and nurtures self worth
Camp New Day U.P. is a FREE one-week camp for youth ages 9-14 who have, or have had, a parent or family member in prison/jail.
With focus on the child (and not incarceration), Camp New Day provides an atmosphere that emphasizes positive reinforcement, growth, and FUN.
If needed, special accommodations can be made. Campers who need it are supplied with necessities such as sleeping bags, toiletries, and even transportation to and from camp.
