Giving Back.

Real action, real deeds.

We take our commitment to ‘give back’ seriously. Our contribution to AIFS’ motto ‘join the world’ is not just through deeds, but also through our grants, scholarships and donations.

It is good to know that when you join Camp America, you are contributing to the work we do around the globe to help change the lives of those in need.
