For more than 19 years, the readers of the Detroit Free Press have supported metro Detroit camps with donations to Summer Dreams. This year, in the May 13th issue, the Detroit Free Press will be asking readers to donate directly to a selection of camps which includes the Society of St. Vincent de Paul's Camp Ozanam. "Our goal is to send 400 children from southeast Michigan to Camp Ozanam this summer," said Bill Brazier, Executive Director of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. Supporters can make your donation to send a kid to camp by visiting the Society's online donations page at https://donate.svdpdet.org/. Donations can also be made by mail and sent to: The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, 3000 Gratiot Ave., Detroit, MI 48207.
The Detroit Free Press Summer Dreams program is all about one thing: helping kids. Helping kids make new friends, learn new skills, dream new dreams and enjoy a summer they will always remember, no matter where life takes them. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul Camp Ozanam has offered a no-cost camping experience for over 100,000 children since its inception and has partnered with the Detroit Free Press Summer Dreams Program since 2005.
