About The Laurel Foundation

The Laurel Foundation is a registered, non-profit organization founded in 1992 by Margot Andrew-Anderson. Committed to improving the lives of children living with HIV and AIDS, transgender youth and other at-risk youth populations. We believe that every child has the right to experience the wonder of childhood. Through our programs we strive to contribute to the development of each child’s self esteem, self awareness and self fulfillment. The Laurel Foundation, accredited by the American Camp Association, uses trained leadership and the resources of the natural surrounding to contribute to each camper’s mental, social and spiritual growth. The first camp of our kind in Southern California, Camp Laurel is free to all children across the country ages 6-17. The Laurel Foundation is named for the laurel leaf in Greek mythology. Apollo, the god of prophecy, poetry, and healing, covered his temple in Delphi with the laurel leaf, believing that the healing properties of the leaf would cure all those who entered his temple.
