Hello everyone! Our family is looking to fundraise for Eli and Alexis to go to summer camp again this year! It was a rough year with Northland closing which lead to financial instability for our family, so we are reaching out to friends and family to see if anyone is willing and able to help send these amazing kiddos back to summer camp this year.

Eli has been attending Swift Nature Camp for the last 5 years and Alexis has for the last 3. Each year they have an amazing adventure away from screens and immersed in a community that helps build leadership, ingenuity, kindness, and bravery. They go boating, camping and horseback riding. They create art, practice riflery, and swim in the lake. They learn about manners and magic alike. There is no place like camp!

Having attended summer camp myself year after year as a child at a neighboring camp (Camp Roundelay), I can attest first hand to how important it is to go back to the same camp year after year. It becomes like a second home that changes you for life. It has always been worth the financial commitment to send our own kids to camp every year despite the struggle, but this year we could really use your help! To add to the excitement- for every milestone we are able to reach we'll be posting a funny video from our family!

$100- Exclusive interviews with both kids about why they love camp

$500- We'll write and perform a camp-themed thankyou song!

$1000- Kids get pied in the face! (and then pie the grownups back!)

$3000- Camping challenge- the whole family will spend a week camping out in the living room and document the fun each day!

$5000- Backyard s'mores celebration! Everyone welcome to come roast s'mores (and drink hot chocolate probably!) in the back yard with us no matter the weather!

$6000- Polar Plunge in Lake Superior! (As soon as it's safe enough for the kids!)
