What is Project Morry & Morry’s Camp?
Project Morry was born out of summer camp pioneer Morry Stein’s dream that all children, regardless of economic status, should experience the life-changing gift of summer camp. Beginning as a free summer camp experience for young people from under-resourced communities, Project Morry has grown into a comprehensive year-round youth development organization, with Morry’s Camp still at the heart of our program.
