Giving Tuesday
Support Camp Namanu this Giving Tuesday
GivingTuesday is all about lifting up and supporting organizations that have impacted our lives.This year Camp Namanu needs your support more than ever.
For over 100 years, Camp Namanu has been a place for young people to build connections, explore new skills, and discover who they are. We believe in building safe, inclusive spaces for campers and staff of all gender and racial identities to build lasting and equitable relationships with nature, each other, and ourselves.
"Camp Namanu has been a hugely positive part of our family since 2016 when my then 4th grade daughter discovered it with her classmate. Camp Namanu has been a place where she feels she belongs; a place with open, friendly people who have become, we are hoping, her life-long friends. I can’t forget about my youngest daughter who has also gone since she was a 1st grader and who will be back this summer for her 5th year! Thank you Camp Namanu for helping my children find their spark, be the best people they can be all while enjoying the amazing outdoors at Camp."
-Camp Namanu CIT & Sherwood Parent
Even within this challenging year, we were able to provide life-changing experiences like the one shared above for almost 1,400 campers this past summer. As of today, we have another 1,100 campers and counting registered and hoping they will have the chance to return to Namanu in 2025. For that to happen we need the support of this incredible community.
We are already almost half way to our year-end goal of $500,000, together we can raise the remaining funds and ensure this magical place can continue to build courageous and inclusive young stewards of the natural world.
