Our Campaigns

Each of our campaigns has a different focus. You can do a single donation to any campaign at any time, but if you REALLY want to help us thrive, join the Chestnut Circle and set up recurring donations! By choosing to support us on a recurring basis, you are providing a stable foundation that allows us to plan ahead, innovate our programs, and extend our reach to more children, including those who may not otherwise have the opportunity to experience the transformative power of summer camp. You can choose to be a monthly or annual donor. 

 
Annual Campaign

This campaign is year-round, with a push at the end of the year to reach our goals! Donations to this campaign go towards all kinds of program expenses for our campers, from friendship bracelet floss to canoes! â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹

 
Get Kids to Camp: Director’s Scholarship Drive

In June, our Director leads this campaign to fill our scholarship funds, so we can get as many kids to camp as possible, regardless of financial background. Every child deserves the camp experience. Help us help them get there! 

 
Capital Campaign

The Board of Directors are working on a Capital Project to renovate the Main Lodge and Dining Hall to improve accessibility and safety. This once-in-a-lifetime project will level out the lake-side porch, shore up the foundations for both buildings, add an ACA-compliant bathroom, replace the lodge roof, and more. Help us keep our iconic Main Lodge going for another 100 years on Harmon Pond!

Legacy Legends

Planned gifts have an enormous and lasting impact on Smith Park of New York and Camp WA WA Segowea by creating a legacy that will impact all campers for generations. A common misconception is that planned giving is only for the wealthy. However, strategic planned giving from individuals from all levels of wealth is critical for the long-term success of the Camp.

 

Typical lifetime planned giving strategies (although there are many types) include outright gifts, charitable remainder trusts, and charitable lead trusts.  Examples of planned gifts after one’s death include bequests in a donor’s last will and testament or naming Smith Park as the beneficiary of a trust, life insurance policy, or retirement account. 

 

We encourage all of those interested in planned giving to contact their attorney, accountant, or financial advisor. Often it takes a team to put together an effective planned gift. If you are interested in becoming a Legacy Legend, please contact us at legacygiving@campwawa.org.
