Welcome Friends of Sparrow Lake
Sparrow Lake Camp's Centennial 2012
"Dollar a Year" Fund
Sparrow Lake Camp will be 100 years old in 2012!
To mark the occasion we would like to encourage friends, if able, to consider donating a dollar for each year (i.e. $100.) as a special centennial gift. If we could collect $100.00 from every camper, staff member and Board member who has been a part of Sparrow Lake's history, we would be well positioned to get the camp looking its best in time for the centennial celebrations and to bring Sparrow Lake Camp into its next century.
Plans are to build two new buildings:
- a permanent multi-purpose pavilion
($20,000 estimated cost) and - a multi-season youth leadership centre
($400,000 estimated cost)
In addition, many existing camp buildings, some of which were built in the early 1900's, need refurbishing. We also need a building to centralize and house our water pumping and treatment facilities. We would be happy to receive post dated cheques, or periodic payments for any contribution you would be willing to make, to assist with capital improvements. If there is a child in your life, please tell them about your gift to Sparrow Lake Camp and share your reasons for giving back to a place that has touched your life in a positive and meaningful way.
