Camp Raising Spirits 2024
Camp was a rousing success! From fly fishing lessons under perfect skies thanks to our friends at L.L. Bean (Picture 1), to yoga in the sun (Picture 2), to crafts and macrame (Pictures 3 to 5) the fun was constant. Then came our 30th Birthday party (Pictures 6 to 8) and we all donned our finest gear and partied all night long (Pictures 9 to 14). The theme was Happy Campers, and that definitely was the case. What an amazing time and we look forward to seeing your photos and hearing your stories. Can't wait for next year already!

2024 Camp Luncheon
The 7th Annual Sandra Lee Schafer Memorial Spring Luncheon was held on Sunday, March 17.
We had a large crowd of friends, volunteers and campers. The featured speaker was Nicole Courson, a three time cancer survivor and Camp volunteer. Nicole spoke from the heart on her battles with cancer and how support from friends and others, including Camp Raising Spirits campers and staff, have made a difference. Nicole, thank you for your touching words.
As you can see from the pictures below, our crowd was large and enthusiastic and the highlight of the luncheon are the raffles. More baskets than ever! More winners than ever!
And finally, save the date for next year's luncheon, Sunday April 6, 2025 (always two weeks before Easter) at the Youghiogheny County Club.
