What is the entity's public purpose, sought to be achieved through the use of state monies?
          The public purpose sought to be achieved through the use of state monies for summer camp and holiday camp primarily centers on providing safe, accessible, and enriching environments for children during the summer months and when school is not in session. These funds aim to support working families by offering essential child care options, ensuring camps can operate safely under health guidelines, and making camp attendance more affordable for eligible families.

What are the goals and objectives for achieving such purpose?
          Our goals are to increase accessibility and affordability for working families. Bo offering financial assistance or sliding-scale fees to eligible families, this program helps to reduce barriers to participation. We work to prioritize outreach to underserved and low-income communities to ensure access. Another goal is to promote positive youth development and integrate learning, leadership, and teamwork activities into camp curricula.

What is the proposed length of time estimated by the entity to accomplish the purpose?
           12 months
