We need your help! We depend on the generosity of the community to provide programs designed to enrich the lives of children and families. Our annual Strong Kids Campaign is the fund and friend raising program that allows us to articulate our needs and connect with those who can help fulfill those needs.

Donors can designate to a specific project or make a general gift to be designated by the Board of Directors for the current greatest need.

Your generous support is needed for the following critical needs:

  • Program Scholarships - It is our goal to ensure no child is turned away from our programs because of the inability to afford our fees. In 2009, we provided over $100,000 in scholarship assistance to 131 resident campers and thousands more to children enrolled in day camp and child care programs.
  • Program Subsidy - Our Child Care Center serves a critical need in our local communities of Manitowish Waters, Winchester, Presque Isle, Boulder Junction and Mercer but because of the high standards and staffing requirements of operating a state licensed center with a small population of young families - we are subsidizing this service to the tune of $30,000 annually. Without community support, this program could not be maintained.
  • Facility and Program Equipment Upgrades - In 2010, We are adding new programs including a portable climbing wall and geocaching using hand held GPS units. Sailboats, canoes, backpacks and tents all need to be replaced from time to time so support is also needed to maintain the highest quality experience at the most affordable rates.
