We can’t thank you enough for your continued support and generosity, which makes it possible to educate the next generation of lake stewards!

The camp has also received a generous in-kind donation from Seager Marine’s Freedom Boat Club the last two years and for this year’s summer camp for a chartered boat ride on the lake while participants partake in water sampling. Fitzgerald Brothers bus service has also offered a significant discount on their bus service every year of camp during the camps stream sampling activity.
