Thank you for all your support and previous donations.  Many improvements have been made this past year at the campground.

 We upgraded the beach area, finished the cabin decks for veterans and their families and added additional sites.

We are in the process of replacing the campground manager’s caretaker facility. The building not only is a home for the manager but will feature extra square footage in the basement area for meeting the required space to store camp supplies and equipment. 

The camp manager is a key employee who is required to live on the campground 24/7 to provide quality and endless service to the veterans. To attract and retain highly qualified individuals for this position it is crucial that quality facilities are provided for them and their families. In 2023, we served over 65,000 visitors. In 2024 we are expecting over 75,000 veterans and their families.

We will be celebrating our 100th anniversary in 2026 and we will be here for another 100+ years to serve all our honored vets and their families.  The campground is a non-profit all-volunteer organization that needs to finish the construction of this important building. There have been some unexpected costs and delays which require additional funds to complete this important endeavor.

We ask for your help to consider a generous donation for the completion of this project.

It will certainly be money well spent.
