SCAMP Concours in the Park
Depot Park in downtown Clarkston comes alive with the sights and sounds of automotive history. Depot Park provides a unique setting for some of the finest sports and classic cars anywhere. The popular ice cream social, silent auction, the cruise and live entertainment provide an evening of fun for everyone. The park is excitingly active and comfortably crowded as Clarkston and Waterford Hills Road Racing, Inc. (WHRRI) celebrate the history of the automobile while benefiting SCAMP.
The History of SCAMP
The vision to provide a summer program that could meet the challenges of youth with special needs (mentally, emotionally, and/or physically disabled) became a reality in 1976. Clarkston SCAMP (S representing summer and spelling out CAMP) is a five-week program that includes activities that help enhance social interaction, motor skills, self-image and academic skills for more than 300 students from North Oakland County and joining communities. It is a camp like this that allows these individuals to participate in activities that can be adjusted for their special physical or mental needs which allows them to continue their life education throughout the year.
The North Oakland SCAMP Funding Corporation, comprised of volunteers is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds for Clarkston SCAMP. While there is a tuition amount, no child is ever turned away for financial reasons. The Funding Corporation supplements the additional costs and provides scholarships for those families. It is the monies raised at the several fundraisers each year that makes the dream a reality for so many SCAMPers.
