I am honored to serve on the Chingachgook Advisory Council and Alumni Committee, continuing to facilitate spreading the magic of camp throughout the year.
I spent my first of 14 consecutive summers at Camp Chingachgook in 1991 after my biological mother passed away. My sister joined me several summers later once she was old enough. Chingachgook allowed us a safe space to build a solid foundation and learn valuable life skills. After 7 years as a camper I was able to go on another 7 years to be a CIT, Assistant Counselor, Counselor, Certified Archery Instructor, Lifeguard, Advanced Wilderness Medicine and so much more! I am grateful my son is enjoying Chingachgook just as much as I did; this will be his 5th summer already!
We meet people from all over the world and continue to make connections with people from Chingachgook ... Chingachgook is where friendships grow and never die...
My hope is to provide opportunities for more young people to experience the magic of Chingachgook. Please consider joining me by learning more about Chingachgook and make a small contribution to my campaign before March 31, 2024!
Summer camp can change a child’s life and we love welcoming campers to our Camp family! In everything we do, we believe in fostering growth and passion in an accepting community steeped in tradition. For over 100 years, we’ve provided campers from around the world the opportunity to experience the magic of camp, with the perfect setting on the shores of Lake George, in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains.
Today, the need for financial assistance is growing for children and families that rely on our programs. With your help, we can work to ensure camp magic is available for all current and future Chingachgook kids - because we are stronger together. At the root of our camp programs is our belief that every day at Chingachgook offers the perfect setting for character development, building confidence and independence, making lasting friendships, and providing a safe place for kids to be kids. Help us provide scholarships so that camp can be a reality for all campers this summer.
