Give the Gift of Camp
Life Changing Experiences and Memories… Because of your support, nearly 400 Project Morry youth are able to attend Morry’s Camp each summer. This is a unique and life changing experience for our kids, many of whom do not have a family tradition of summer camp and would not be able to afford it without Project Morry. As families and children send off their camp trunks in eager anticipation of summer adventures, we hope you will help us pack ours.
Commencement 2017
On Saturday May 13th, 2017 Project Morry was proud to honor the High School Graduation of 100% of our Post Grad 5 students. Commencement 2017 also celebrated the completion of their 9 year Project Morry journey. 96% of these thoughtful, ambitious young leaders will go on to college or enlist in the military. We wish them the best and eagerly wait for news of their next success!
