The Summer Camp Sponsorship Program began as a family initiative through Next Level Marine. As community support grows, our long-term goal is to explore establishing an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to helping local children access summer camp opportunities and other youth development programs.
Â
For now, we remain focused on building the program, serving local families, and creating meaningful opportunities for children in our community.
Our Vision
If you know a child who could benefit from our Summer Camp Sponsorship Program, we'd love to hear their story.Â
​
Whether you're looking to learn more about our mission, apply for sponsorship assistance, donate to send more kids to camps, or explore available camp opportunities, we'd love to connect with you.
Summer Camp Sponsorship Program
At Next Level Marine, we believe success means more than fixing boats—it means creating opportunities for the families and children who make our community special.
Â
We proudly sponsor local children by helping cover the cost of attending summer camps, giving them the chance to build confidence, make new friends, learn new skills, and create memories that last a lifetime.
Â
Over the years, we've also supported charitable causes through other community fundraisers, donation drives, volunteer efforts, and partnerships with organizations dedicated to helping children and families in need.
Â
As a family-owned business, we're committed to investing in the next generation and making a positive impact right here in Manatee County.
