Since 1904, the private, nonprofit group Family Matters of Greater Washington has provided opportunities for less-fortunate children to attend summer camp.

Family Matters operates Camp Moss Hollow, a rustic 400-acre site nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains near Markham, Va. The camp features a pond for canoeing, swimming pool, ropes course, arts program, many hiking trails and first-class counselors.

Every year, nearly 700 children receive the opportunity to experience this life-changing program. Most of the campers lead troubled lives; many of them come from foster homes. None could afford a week at camp without this support.

For decades, support for the camp has come from readers of The Washington Post. Through the John Kelly's column and the annual Send a Kid to Camp campaign -- which runs this year from June 1-July 24 -- individuals and groups donate to Moss Hollow.
