Dear St. Francis Camp on the Lake Supporters:
For over 40 years, the St. Francis Camp Board of Directors and staff have been committed to providing a total camping experience for individuals with developmental disabilities. The SFC team operates as a total volunteer organization except for one full-time Camp Director, seasonal employees serving as camp counselors, camp staff, and contracted maintenance employees. Our 36-acre camp facility includes 195 feet of waterfront on Goose Lake, a sandy beach, rustic woods, nature trails, sport areas, a new playground area including a climbing wall, and multiple lodges where campers and counselors are housed. In the summer, we provide a week-long camp experience for these individuals to live and play together with dignity, respect, and love.
To cover our costs to operate and maintain the camp during the on and off seasons, the volunteer Board of Directors rely on a variety of revenue sources: camper fees, camp rentals, grants, and donations from our loyal supporters. The camper’s fees only cover half the total expenses for a camper. The remaining expenses are covered by different revenue sources.
In recent years, we have had separate capital campaign funding programs to make improvements in and around the camp facilities which include new playground equipment, improved lighting, bathroom renovations, a new generator, and a counselor retreat room. We appreciate all our supporters that help make these projects possible.
We are asking you now to consider becoming a recurring supporter through our Pledge Program. This will enable us to better budget and support our camp program needs in the future. As a 501(c)(3) organization, SFC is a wonderful way to maximize the use of investment and donation strategies while minimizing your tax burden. Contact the SFC Board for more information about these programs at www.saintfranciscamp.org. You may want to consult your financial planner and/or tax advisor.
Supporters like you help us provide a lifetime of memories in one endless summer for God’s Special People.
Sincerely,
Benedict Dandrow – President, St. Francis Camp on the Lake (EIN: 52-0614583)
