For many kids, summer is all about fun in the sun with their friends and going to summer camp is a huge part of that yet for so many others that opportunity is just out of reach. But camp made for me is looking to change that and wants to give the most underfunded bay area communities, the magic of camp. In order to do that, it needs a little bit of help. So joining us now is Scott Edelman<\/a> and paul austin. The codirectors of camp made from a thank you so much for joining us. Thank you for having such a loop what is the magic of camp and who are these kids that are getting too . Experience this magic. So on the product of summer camp, ive lived it. I loved it. Its kind of made me who i am. And ive seen so many kids transformed because of the opportunity to go to him. But yet theres so many kids who dont get that opportunity, which is exactly why we call it can made for me because theres so many kids out there that are made for other types of kids who have the resources and can for it. But yet this camp in particular is made for kids, marine city and east oakland. Were so excited started off this summer. And so what makes it so special . O, well, it makes it special is like being able to take. He is outdoors for a full week and were going to do several for opportunities there. May kids are going to go out there to go to sleep. Theyre going to meet new people right . We do have like cant buyers and just be able to bring kids together for a city in oakland. To me, hes won a special opportunity that dont happen very often. Yeah. I mean, pauls whole platform and iran is giving kids experiences and opportunities that they otherwise would have had. And going overnight camp is exactly that. And, you know, ive been able to start 3 of these for underfunded communities across the country.

They have incredibly busy jobs, but theyre able to put all that aside. To come to camp for one week so that they can give this Magical Experience<\/a> for these kids. But also we need that younger foundations. So we need that the college kids are on for some looking for an opportunity to make an impact, put something on their resume. I will happily get references for future jobs.

Days in the 60s and everywhere else the 70s and 80s. We have the offshore flow. So that wind is coming from the land. Heating up. So the warm temperatures will be staying for a while because this is a long range future cast model. You can see this ridge of High Pressure<\/a> is going to be taking over the bay area. And theres another ridge right behind it. And thats going to be warming us up. So next week we will retreat from the heat to more seasonable averages from the coast, at least by the coast, at least. But these are tomorrows daytime highs were expecting 90s in the usual areas, concord livermore and even santa rosa could see 90 step. Heres that 7 day outlook.
