We need your voice!

This summer may not look like all the summers that have come before or hopefully many of the summers that will come after.

What we do know is that camp plays a vital role in the lives of campers, their families, volunteers, staff and alumni – and so we are taking steps to determine how we can best serve our community this summer by looking at options as needed.

We are interested in your needs and how we can best serve you. Please complete the survey, by the end of April or sooner if possible so that your voice is heard.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Stay safe and well until we meet again.
