Gifts of Love - Money

Many people choose to donate to our scholarship program.  Children who would not be able to afford the benefit of a Camp Augusta experience are able to come through generous donations.  Our waiting list for such campers is greater than our ability to serve them. 

Of course, monetary donations for large and small items alike are greatly appreciated.  Come take a walk around the camp with the director to see what potential is yet to be tapped.

September 15th Fundraising Party

Every September, the camp community gathers in the East Bay for some play, socializing, a silent auction, and a live auction. 

In addition to being fun, note that the proceeds from this event go toward vital improvements at Augusta, such as replacing a bath house, adding EVERY new major program area, replacing vital infrastructure, and now our focus on replacing the camp kitchen.  Tens of thousands of people benefit from these replacements and additions.  Thank you for your consideration.  :-)

Nonprofit?  Fundraise?  Huh?  Why?

Hundreds of children will spend one or two weeks of their summer vacations on the shores of Lake Vera.  Dozens of families spend a Spring or late-Summer weekend climbing the ropes course, swimming in the falls, and enjoying the company of their own and other families.

As you probably know, Camp Augusta is a non-profit organization.  We receive no money from the City of Piedmont or any other governmental assistance.  All camp operating expenses, such as food, counselors' salaries, insurance and electricity, are paid by camp tuition and rental fees from outside groups.  We detail exactly where the tuition money goes, and all new programs and structures are due to gifts, which allows us to keep our tuition several hundred dollars less, and as much as $1000 less than a few other camps.

Non-profit organization.  Unless you’ve worked for one, especially a small one, it is unlikely that you can appreciate the need and gratitude for gifts both small and large.  It means that we rely on donations for many of the things we have and do at camp.  Our magnificent lodge was a grant.  Families barely making ends meet are able to give their kids the wonderful gift of Camp Augusta because of scholarship donations.  Many of our program supplies were donated to us.  Only through your generosity can we continue to fund these worthy improvements to your camp.

As you consider options for distributing your philanthropy, please consider Camp Augusta.  We welcome a variety of donations, from financial contributions to building materials, services, or program equipment.

Gifts of Love - Time

Camp Augusta has a traditional Spring and Fall work weekend.  No skills are needed, and we often complete fun projects such as new construction and creating additional program areas. In May 2009, we built a wonderful horse tack shed, a round horse pen,  a riflery shed, a foam weapons shed and a new deck for the staff house.

2012 Work Weekend = April 21st and 22nd (Saturday is the main day)

Beyond those times, we are always looking for volunteers to contribute their skills or time to camp.  Graphics, finance, web, and other skills can be done from anywhere.  Volunteer opportunities are available any time, and not just during the summer.

Gifts of Love - Things

Most families understand that they can’t have everything they want.  Similarly, Camp Augusta can’t have everything it wants.  The things on this list are there because we feel they would enhance the program or site, or because a donated item would prevent us from buying it, which would enable us to acquire other wanted things.  This list is more illustrative than comprehensive.
