Needs
This year, we are launching our NEW First Adventure Gear Program to help remove one of the biggest barriers for families who are new to camping: the upfront cost of gear. Families will be able to rent kits containing essential equipment, such as tents and sleeping bags, making it easier to participate in their first HATS adventure without a significant upfront investment. Your support will help us purchase and maintain gear kits that can serve families year after year, ensuring that the cost of equipment never stands between a family and the opportunity to experience HATS together.
Your generosity creates opportunities beyond the trail, too. Donations also invest directly in the futures of the incredible young leaders who make these experiences possible through college tuition scholarships:
• Senior Mentors earn $300 per campout in college tuition scholarships.
• Directors earn $600 per campout in college tuition scholarships.
