As families face rising costs and limited summer resources, the former co-stars help bring adventure and connection to campers from underserved communities
As fans celebrate the 25th anniversary of “Spy Kids,” co-stars Alexa PenaVega and Daryl Sabara reunited for a special surprise at a Salvation Army summer camp, spending the day with campers from underserved communities and bringing the spirit of adventure and imagination to a new generation. Campers participated in spy-themed activities designed to spark creativity, confidence, and fun.
With 40% of parents unable to afford summer programs for their children, this time of year can be especially difficult for many families as school-based support disappears. The Salvation Army’s summer camps give kids of all ages a safe, fun, and unforgettable camp experience, regardless of their family’s circumstances, with activities ranging from swimming, canoeing, hiking, and archery to arts and crafts, music, and drama. From discovering new talents to forming lifelong friendships and experiencing the outdoors, campers gain new opportunities and memories that last a lifetime.
“As parents to young children ourselves, Daryl and I understand the importance of providing kids with access to safe, enriching experiences during the summer,” said PenaVega. “Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and experience the magical feeling that summer camp can provide. We’re grateful to partner with The Salvation Army to help bring those opportunities to more families.”
“Seeing kids laugh, play, and just be kids is what makes days like this so special. I’m proud to partner with The Salvation Army in helping more children enjoy an unforgettable summer camp experience,” said Sabara.
