Camp Cooper has embarked on its second major fundraising campaign to cover staffing and operations costs.
The Cooper Center for Environmental Learning provides overnight experiences in the desert to elementary and middle school students from across the region.
Operated as a partnership between the Tucson Unified School District and the University of Arizona College of Education, Camp Cooper relies on about $100,000 in community funding raised through grants and donations.
Last year’s fundraising campaign brought in more than $80,000 in just four months. This time, the center hopes to raise at least $20,000 by the end of the month for the 2016-17 school year.
Donations can be made online at crowdfund.arizona.edu/Cooper2016. For more information, visit coopercenter.arizona.edu
