Spring for Parks returns on April 29, 2021, as a special virtual fundraiser to support scholarships for Oakland, Parks, Recreation and Youth Development’s flagship Town Camp summer program.

Join us to help ensure all Oakland kids have equitable access to a joyful summer at Town Camp. With your generous support, kids will receive the physical, social and emotional experiences they need to stay healthy after a year of remote schooling, isolation from friends and inactivity. At this time of unprecedented need, scholarships will help Oakland kids reconnect with a safe summer of learning, growth and play.

Let’s join together to learn about Town Camp’s impact and raise money to send Oakland kids to camp this summer. Enjoy the live program with special guests and performances from the comfort of your couch.

Spring for Parks is free to attend.
