WHY DO WE NEED PEOPLE LIKE YOU TO GIVE TO CAMP WAHWAH-TAY-SEE?
Because without you it all goes away. There is no state or federal money that goes to the camp.
Each year the camp depends on generous people just like you to support this important community resource for campers of all ages and abilities. It cost $275.00 to send a camper to camp. Campers are asked to pay $20.00 if they can. The remaining $255.00 comes from people who know how important it is that everyone should be able to go to Camp.
