Dear *{{First Name}}* ,

I am deeply grateful for the rainbows that brighten these challenging and uncertain times - this one is from a short backpacking trip I took last week.  I’m grateful that nature abides in all its lovely and wild ways, and that this natural world feels wide open and welcoming to me, a direct result of my Camp Unalayee experiences. 

Learning to appreciate the varied wonders of nature and to feel comfortable and self-reliant in the woods is an amazing gift we give our campers; a gift that will stay with them for life.  The Unalayee community we join—as campers, staff, volunteers, or donors—is welcoming and supportive, a true family for many and another lifelong gift.  To keep Camp U accessible and affordable for children of all backgrounds, we need your support. Community donations are essential to our annual budget, and this year, we plan to provide over $300,000 in financial aid to families in need. Our mission—unchanged in its purpose over 75 years—is to bring together children from diverse backgrounds, regardless of financial means, to discover the wonders of nature, the power of their inner strength, and the comfort of community.

We invite you to continue supporting and celebrating this mission. Your participation is our own rainbow of love, carrying us forward through these difficult times.  Read on for more rainbows, opportunities, and important updates! 

Sally Davis, Board President

Camperships available at all levels of support. 

We log many miles on rough dirt roads to keep our base camp and trail groups supplied. While our large F350 4WD pickup, "The Beast," is essential for heavy hauling, having a smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicle for lighter loads and personnel transport helps conserve fuel, reduces wear on our roads, and extends the life of our larger vehicles. Dennis’s generous gift of a sturdy, capable, and oh so cute vehicle is deeply appreciated!

       What should we call it? 

Naming Camp Unalayee in your will, trust, or estate planning document creates a lasting legacy honoring your deep involvement and support for Camp.  Legacy donations play a vital role in securing Unalayee’s financial future, ensuring our mission thrives for years to come. For over 75 years, our financial assistance program has made the transformative Camp experience accessible to children from all backgrounds. By planning today, you help preserve Camp’s legacy for generations to come.
