These Dream Camps are ‘Crowd sponsored’. That is, Volunteers conduct this camp by reaching out to communities around them and explaining them the cause they are working for. MAD is a registered society under the Travancore Cochin Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies Registration Act, 1955.

MAD follows all financial regulations set forth for non-profits by the Government of India, and is audited annually.
Dream Camps are a 3-day outbound camp where all teams come together to run for all the children we work with. The camps have three key goals:
- Help build hope and motivation by connecting children with their dreams through a process called the arc of transformation.
- Help build experiential self confidence through exposure to new experiences that challenge their comfort zones.
- Help reduce stress by giving each child a chance to have a holiday.
