🎉 We Met the Match! 🎉

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our Camp Ondessonk community, we have met the matching challenge to help fund repairs to our Challenge Course!

This support gets us more than halfway to our goal of $7,500 to ensure campers can climb, challenge themselves, build confidence, and grow together on the Challenge Course this summer. We are so grateful to everyone who gave, shared, and is cheering us on.

Special thanks to Lee Smith, Betsy Smith-Stierwalt, and Kate Perek for contributing the $2,000 match and encouraging others to support this effort!

We still need your help to reach our goal! Visit ondessonk.com/giving or send your gift via USPS with “Challenge Wall” in the notes to contribute.
