Thank You Fundraisers and Volunteers!
Last weekend, May 8–10, our community took part in the annual Grand Paddle & Hike fundraiser, alongside a special milestone: the 65th Campfire Concert celebrating 65 years of Silver Lake.
Together, we raised over $55,000 (and counting!) in support of our programs. As a not-for-profit, we are incredibly grateful for the generosity of this community in making that possible. Donations are still coming in, and if you would like to contribute, you can do so here.
These events wouldn’t be possible without our dedicated fundraisers and volunteers. Whether you reached out to friends and family, performed in a band, shared your camp story, or helped behind the scenes, thank you—we couldn’t have done it without you.
