Our vision at Hamptons Community Outreach is to promote an inclusive community by supporting our most vulnerable neighbors' basic physical and emotional needs, and by making sure all our youth are engaged academically and creatively.
Our Story

Social Worker Marit Molin founded Hamptons Art Camp to provide underserved youth living in the Hamptons with a summer camp experience. Hamptons Art Camp opened its doors in 2018 to an economically diverse group of children who spent the summer painting, sewing, building things, and engaging in community service projects.
Hamptons Art Camp continued supporting underserved youth through the school year, providing enrichment and necessities like school supplies, winter coats, and even prom dresses for teenage girls in Bridgehampton High School. By the summer of 2019, the camp grew, as did the mission of Hamptons Art Camp, which now included arts programing and empowerment activities for girls living on the Shinnecock Reservation.
With the onset of the Covid-19 crisis, Hamptons Art Camp started an aggressive outreach program that connected struggling restaurants with food-insecure communities — delivering prepared meals weekly and 1,000 pounds of produce each week to the Shinnecock Reservation. We also provided necessities to the elderly, groceries to childcare centers, and art kits and cookies to children of hospital workers, and more.
Our outreach's success has brought us attention and generous support. In 2021, Hamptons Art Camp and Outreach officially became Hamptons Community Outreach, and obtained 501c3 status. In addition to supporting underserved youth, Hamptons Community Outreach provides crisis intervention, enrichment services, mental health support, and increased involvement with underserved populations living on the Shinnecock Reservation and all over the East End of Long Island.
