Welcome to Camp Haven: Fun Lives Here

Welcome Welcome Welcome!

This summer at Shelter Network’s Haven Family House for homeless families in Menlo Park, California, we are launching a brand new program: “Camp Haven – Where Fun Lives”. The idea is that all the kids who live at Haven Family House will have the chance attend an on-site summer camp. The goal of the day camp is provide a wide variety of activities and instruction to provide the homeless children with many opportunities to learn and play all summer long. There is a whole series of staff-supervised, but volunteer-run, activity-filled, weeks. We have just begun (June 13th, 2011), but we will be having fun all summer long!

All of our volunteers are amazing, they have each chosen a week to make really special, they invest their time and effort to create and run fun and interesting activities. They are the ones who get the kids excited and engaged, and make sure everyone is having a great experience!
