Every Child deserves a summer to play and thrive.
PLAY NW GOLDBERG is a 9-week summer camp where kids grow through sports, play, and positive mentorship.
Each child’s experience costs $2,000 — but for participating families, it’s 100% free.
Your gift puts a child in camp this summer, covering healthy meals, field trips, and a safe place to learn and play.
Sponsor a child. Change a summer.
