Camp Endowments

Supporting Camp for tomorrow.

The endowment is an investment in Camp’s future. A strong endowment gives us the ability to plan and make strategic long-term decisions with financial security.

Visionary donors create endowments because they understand the importance of supporting Camp, not only during their lifetime, but also for generations to come. Many donors choose to establish an endowed fund to honor a loved one or to memorialize an important figure in their life, ensuring that his or her name and strong character will forever be a guiding force in for Camp Sea Gull & Camp Seafarer.

Additionally, participation in the Heritage Club continues to assure bequests to Camp, largely for the endowment.
