Summer camp provides fun and life-changing experiences to area children. But due to financial constraints, some children are sidelined. To give all children the ability to experience summer camp, the Marye Wells-Harley Dream Camp Scholarship provides financial help to Montgomery County’s disadvantaged residents.
