Story
"The joy of seeing kids both expand their horizons and just plain have fun is why I give to camp with my time and my money. And the rewards are worth far more than the cost." - Walter Parkinson, North Woods Alumni.
It is the goal of the North Woods Camp Committee to bring our camp community together and to help those who need our help the most. After overcoming the challenge of not being able to operate camp for the first time in 121 years, we are overjoyed that our beloved North Woods, Pleasant Valley, and Sandy Island are preparing to open camp this summer. With protocols in place, it is with pride and purpose that camp will be offering programming focused on improving both physical and mental health while empowering campers to learn, grow, and thrive.
Our staff friends are seeing a significant increase in financial barriers because of Covid. Thanks to your donation, we are able to remove these financial barriers and create opportunities for the hundreds of youth who would otherwise not have the opportunity to attend this summer. We realize we cannot do this alone and rely on the time, talent, and treasure of the many others in our camp community to help us do this work. Thank you for giving during this pivotal time - we sincerely appreciate your support.
