Annual Scholarship Fund /Reach Out Campaign

The Reach Out Campaign raises critical funds each year for our Camp scholarship program.  Each year the amazing Camp community of Sandy Island, North Woods, Pleasant Valley, and Laughing Loon band together to support camp experiences for kids and families who could not afford them without our help. In 2009 more than $125,000 was donated by over 400 supporters to help people come to Camp.

A national research study by the American Camping Association found that campers, families, and staff grew significantly due to their camp experiences their largest areas of growth were:

• Self esteem
• Independence
• Made friends
• Leadership skills
• Adventure & exploration
• Environmental awareness
