Matching Donation

  • Camp turns 100 this year, and we are rallying resources to return the property to a thriving space for kids and families year-round. We have secured match funding and sponsorships of $25,000, including our own contribution, and we need your help to raise the matching $25,000.

  • Funds will strengthen the camp's sustainability and create spaces for new programs so the Long Island community can enjoy another 100 years of camping, connecting, laughing, and learning.

  • Please join us in maximizing every dollar in this unique opportunity.

Thank you for your continued support and for helping us to continue our 100-year important mission of youth and leadership development!
