Rotary Club of Grand Rapids’ STRIVE Program
STRIVE is a scholarship and motivational program targeted to high school seniors who want to improve their present educational status and their life prospects. Students academically ranked in the lower one-third of the class often have the same natural abilities and gifts as those who are in the upper two-thirds of the class. The difference is often motivation, attendance, work habits, self-esteem and success in the classroom. STRIVE is dedicated to addressing these factors.

INDIAN TRAILS CAMP - CAMP OF DREAMS
Indian Trails Camp is a remarkable facility that brings adaptive recreation to the lives of physically and mentally challenged campers. It is simple in theory, but daunting in task. Indian Trails provides a barrier-free camp setting in which those with disabilities can participate in all manner of activities the outside world is ill-equipped to provide. It is a place filled with fun, recreation and friendship. Campers learn perseverance, teamwork and self-reliance. They leave for home loaded up with love, respect, friendships and memories.
