Thanks to our community’s generous support, The Salvation Army is giving local youth a memorable summer experience by sending them to our Camp Wonderland each year.”

This donation drive will support local families in need and will help provide necessary items to send children to camp this summer,” says Rebekah Macchia, Director of Marketing for Newburyport Development.
