About Little Soles with Big Hearts: Help us send 220 low-income Monmouth County youth to Kateri Day Camp this summer by walking! For over 45 years, Kateri Day Camp has provided thousands of low-income Monmouth County youth with a safe, fun, and affordable summer camp for free thanks to Camperships (Camp Scholarships). Each campership includes bussing to and from camp, free breakfast, lunch, and snacks, swim lessons, on and off-site activities.

9:30 AM: Registration
10:00 AM: Walk begins

Register to walk the trails of Kateri Day Camp and enjoy a morning of fun in the sun! We want to make it easy for you to join us for a fun morning. Instead of raising money “per lap” or “per mile” we are asking walkers to simply request a sponsorship from family and friends to walk or make a donation of $80—the cost to send one local youth to Kateri Day Camp for one day.

All proceeds will go to send low-income Monmouth County youth to camp. Can’t make it to walk at Kateri Day Camp? Walk on your own anywhere you want! All funds raised must be submitted to Collier on or before May 7th. Can't participate? Donate! To register or for more information, visit www.collieryouthservices.org/LSBH.

About Kateri Day Camp: Every Summer, Kateri Day Camp provides over 200 low-income Monmouth County youth with a safe, affordable, kid-friendly summer camp experience. Campers attend Kateri for free thanks to Camperships (camp scholarships). Each campership covers full camp tuition for the seven-week program which includes on-site activities, off-site field trips, daily swim lessons, healthy meals, and round-trip transportation. Kateri also includes a fun literacy program, helping to prevent the academic “summer slide” that disproportionately affects low-income children.
