Co-ed day camp program started by alumnae of former all-girls Camp Moy-Mo-Da-Yo, established in 1907. I attended as a camper/counselor for many years in the 1950s, and gained lifetime friends and values there. Now the day camp, borne out of our 100 year reunion of our founding, reflects those values (sportsmanship, friendship, honesty, perseverance, optimism, cooperation, respect) in its mission and programs. Along with the values, the campers sing hundreds of songs that we have recorded for them. Most of these campers are local, underserved children, who would never have these opportunities to gain lifetime skills in a relaxed cooperative environment without financial assistance. Parents often write letters of gratitude for the growth they've seen in the their children after their time with us. We've provided canoes, archery equipment, and other camping gear, as well as scholarships. More children could benefit from this healthy experience on a lovely American Camping Association certified waterfront if we could offer more scholarships. Please consider lending your support, as each summer is a financial challenge.

With advance appreciation ~
Jan Saks, an eternal Green Teamer
