What do "Friends of Camp Sacramento" do?

These volunteers perform a variety of activities to ensure the ongoing success of Camp. These activities consist of several fund raising events such as a membership drive and raffle held at the beginning of each camp session. Friends help out with opening and closing weekend at Camp. The main fund-raiser is sponsoring Labor Day Weekend at Camp Sacramento. It is the "Summer’s Last Fling" Board Members work as volunteer staff members and set up activities for the weekend. With the profits from these fund-raisers Friends of Camp Sacramento is able to purchase things for Camp to make the camping experience more enjoyable. Friends is responsible for the great playground that was installed in 2000. They also have provided the awning on the dining hall porch and lodge. They remodeled the Lodge and put in the Lobby Desk. Patio furniture, kitchen supplies and other small items are purchased regularly.
