CAMPaign '07 update - Honor our past, assure our future - American Camping Association

CAMPaign '07 definitely had a "peak experience" at the 2003 ACA National Conference in Denver. We collected $249,367.00 in pledges and contributions. Thanks to all conference attendees for your generous support of CAMPaign '07. The total amount pledged and contributed as of March 24, 2003, is $1,444,718.00 from 557 donors. Without good friends like you, we wouldn't be so successful.

We still need $3,555,282.00 in order to reach our final goal of $5,000,000.00. That's a huge sum, which is why we need many more committed members, sections, individuals, and many more dollars to move us closer to our final goal. Only you can make that happen. Please take a moment now and fill out the enclosed pledge envelope today. Together, we can make a difference!

Testimonial:

The camp experience is necessary for every child and adult to promote better understanding of the people of the nation and of the world, and the marvelous benefits of outdoor education.

The professionals interacting in the camp experience contribute greatly to children, youth education, and development through the different educational and recreational activities developed in a fun environment, where the spirit of camp can be felt and is unforgettable for everyone. They will not forget what was learned in a well-organized camp. I think the success of the camp can be seen when the participants become better persons when they return home.

As a camp professional, I am very proud to be a member of the American Camping Association, for the high standards for the camp operation it promotes and assures in every camp accredited. Also for the excellent opportunities offered for the education and trainings I received, which helped me to improve many camps in Puerto Rico. Thanks to ACA and the friends I got there!
