Since 1904, the private, non-profit group Family and Child Services of Washington, D.C., Inc. (F&CS) has provided opportunities for less-fortunate children to attend summer camp.

F&CS operates Camp Moss Hollow, a rustic 400-acre site nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains near Markham, Va. The camp features a pond for canoeing, swimming pool, ropes course, arts program, many hiking trails and first-class counselors. Every year, nearly 700 children receive the opportunity to experience this life-changing program.

Support for the camp is provided by countless individuals and organizations through the Send a Kid to Camp campaign. Most campers live troubled lives; many of them come from foster homes. None could afford a week at camp without this support.
