My Nonprofit Reviews

The John Austin Cheley Foundation has been instrumental in the development of our teenage twins. Our oldest son, Jon, grew in so many ways through his camp experience. Socially, he enjoyed the many activities offered by camp. He connected with other campers through experiences such as camping, backpacking, hiking, mountain biking, etc. He challenged himself physically by participating in 4 day backpacking trips. He conquered his fear of heights by utilizing the rope courses at camp and participating in repelling activities.
Ben benefited from the social activities at camp. He is a shy young man. Every year, he has come home with more friendship stories. Ben likes to challenge himself physically and camp is great for that purpose. This year he did a two-day, 30 mile mountain bike trip followed by a Mount Princeton hike followed by a 36 mile hike. The wonderful thing about camp is that there is something for every one. Horseback riding, crafts, archery, drama,swimming, river days, service days, and much more provide opportunities for campers to appreciate one another in the beautiful outdoors.
The John Austin Cheley Foundation enables children, who don't have the necessary means, to experience camp. This foundation is fundamental in growing great kids. Leadership, compassion, service, courage, wisdom, perseverance and resiliency are character traits that are cultivated within the camp experience.
