Supporting Your Camp
Camp La-No-Che depends on the support of our units, outside groups, dedicated volunteers, and community partners to achieve our mission. Without your support, we’d be unable to impact the lives of future generations – so we can’t thank you enough!
We’re often asked what type of support we need to stay afloat, so, this page exists to showcase some of our current and future projects, ideas for volunteers, our donation and in-kind donation links, and our volunteer recruitment forms – all in one convenient place!
Donations
Camp La-No-Che is eternally grateful to the hundreds of donors we have that support our program. Whether you can contribute $10 or $100, we’re grateful for all the support we can get! Each donation allows us to improve our facilities, develop our programs, keep the lights up, upgrade our infrastructure, and enables us to do what we can to continue to be an affordable weekend and resident camp for our community and it’s future leaders.
Service Projects
Looking to give back with your friends, patrol, or learn how you can support our large projects? Here’s how you can help! We have a list of projects that we’re working on and we’d love some help!
Here you can learn about what the project entails, any tools we might need that we don’t have to complete, and more! For any questions or to sign up – send us an email at volunteersupport@camplnc.com and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible!
Individual or Buddy Projects (Great for retirees!) – Smaller projects that can be completed in just a few hours with only a small number of people
Small Group Projects (Great for community organizations or units!) – Medium sized projects that may require a larger group of people to complete
Large Projects – These projects may require several days and may involve fundraising or gifts-in-kind. If your organization is able to support in any way, shape, or form we’d love the help!
Thank you for your consideration in supporting Camp La-No-Che! We wouldn’t be where we are today without the support of our community.
