During the summer, the MBCE hosts the Mid-Hudson Valley Camp, which provides summer camp experiences to children with cancer, hearing impairments and various special needs, as well as special needs adults and children from economically-challenged communities around New York City.
Each generous donation to the Mid-Hudson Valley Camp goes directly to subsidizing the cost of our campers’ sleep away summer camp experience. This includes defraying the expense of transportation, meals, camp activities, art supplies, costumes, sports equipment, and other items required to create lasting positive memories for our campers as well as our counselors, all of whom are volunteers.
