Story

As we work to build back from what has been a devastating pandemic, we are working to build a stronger, healthier camp community, with your help. Last year we were able to run camp at a limited capacity but this summer we are planning to run at full capacity. With each summer comes a need for financial assistant and this summer will be no different.  Camp will  see an increase in needs as families recover from any COVID related hardships. I was lucky enough that my family could afford to send me to camp.  The reality is that many families need help in order to provide the camp experience for their children.  Like many  alums, Chingachgook had a life changing impact on me and my hope is to be able to provide that experience to as many children as possible. My Children were fortunate enough to be able to attend camp and work there. Camp allows growth and the ability to step outside of your comfort zone.  It teaches team work and leadership.  It provides fun in a safe and clean environment.   For those of you who have lived the Camp Experience, you know what I mean.  For those of you who have not been to camp, I can tell  you that Camp is more than a place, it is more than an experience and it is more than 2 weeks in a child's life.  It is a place that you can grow for  the future, it an experience that lasts a lifetime and it is 2 weeks that a child never forgets.  Please consider giving to this worthy cause.
