Project:Camp is a disaster response nonprofit that pops up free, trauma-informed day camps for children impacted by disasters. We're currently running multiple camps in and around Los Angeles to support families impacted by the Palisades and Eaton fires.

A former camp director with two decades of camp experience under his belt, Mikey founded Project:Camp with the idea that camp and childcare professionals have critical skills to offer in times of emergency. In developing our pop-up camp model, Mikey sought to use the structure of camp as a vehicle to bring joy, safety and peace of mind to children and parents impacted by natural disasters. He hopes this work leads to a seismic shift in the disaster response ecosystem, creating a more holistic, trauma-informed and community-driven model that prioritizes the needs of families during emergencies.
