Camp Endowments

Camp volunteers and staff continue to build relationships and encourage philanthropic contributions to the Camp Annual Fund, Camp Capital Fund and Endowments. All of these contributions are directly supportive of the Camp mission and are stewarded with the express purpose of making Camp programs of the highest standard accessible to people of diverse economic means.

We are grateful to all of the volunteers and donors who understand the critical role of philanthropy in achieving a community that embraces children from many different backgrounds and appreciates the gifts that all of these children bring to the Camp community.

The participation of Camp supporters in the Heritage Club continues to assure bequests to the Camps, largely for endowment.
