Most of the charity work Mason does is in the offseason, where he runs a boys and girls camp. Depending on the length of the offseason, there are usually a couple different groups that get to stay for a few days. Some groups check-in on Sunday morning and leave Wednesday morning, the second group Checks in Wednesday afternoon and leaves Saturday morning. During the week, the kids get to participate in all sorts of outdoor activities like rock climbing, swimming, canoeing, shooting sports and many other things. There are also various team building games and exercises throughout, trying build up their social skills. Perhaps the best part of the camp is that it is 100% paid for by Mason and his charity. Only those who came from a split home or only have one parent in their life are invited to attend each year. A lot of these children are missing a parental figure or don't typically have the resources that some in a not split home would get. The camp really aims at providing other means of helping kids in some more difficult home environments. A lot of kids return ever year as well, further helping them build on what they have learned from previous years. Older kids can also apply and work at the camp once they are 14. Over 80% of the camp staff is made of those who attended as a participant at one time.
