Camp Mennoscah: Save the Whale!

Due to structural concerns and needed repairs, The Whale playground at Camp Mennoscah was taken down in December, and we need to build a new playground in time for this summer!

For 25 years, The Whale was one of the primary places for campers to stay active throughout the camp week--climbing the ladder, jumping up platforms, and sliding down slides. The Whale has also been the site of the weekly all-camp photo--a reminder of the important faith formation, relationships, and experiences a camper shares during a week of camp. We are still exploring designs for the new playground but would like it to resemble the original structure. Drawings of the design are only preliminary. An estimated 12,500 summer campers had the opportunity to play on The Whale in its 25 years!

We have already raised $8,000 toward our $50,000 goal. Your gift toward the new playground will ensure that campers have a fun, unique place to play for the next 25 years (at least!). Do you have fond memories of The Whale or of Camp Mennoscah? Please consider supporting this project!

For the next 12,500 campers:

A gift of $5 buys enough of the new playground for 1 camper to play on for 1 week of camp.

A gift of $40 buys enough of the new playground for 10 campers to play on for one week of camp

A gift of $400 buys enough of the new playground for an entire WEEK of campers to play on.

A gift of $2,000 buys enough of the new playground for an entire SUMMER of campers to play on.

A gift of ANY size gets us closer to our goal!

If you have any questions about the project, please send us a message and we will respond with an answer as soon as possible. Thank you for helping us keep our campers active and provide this playground at Camp Mennoscah!
