The Kiwanis Club of Kalamazoo seeks to improve the lives of children in the greater Kalamazoo area. We do that through hands-on service projects as well as monetary support for many organizations that complement our mission.
Pretty Lake Camp has provided a totally free summer camp for more than 50,000 youth in the Kalamazoo County area who could benefit the most from the experience. No family pays to attend this nonprofit camp and everything is provided for them – from toothbrushes to clothing to transportation.
Children’s Nature Playscape
Children’s Nature Playscape off of Bronson Park is a nature-inspired landscape where children 2-10 years old can engage in creative, unstructured play with natural elements (like boulders, logs, sand, and water) in a park-like setting.
