Welcome Sparrow Lake Alumni
Sparrow Lake Camp's Centennial 2012
"Dollar a Year" Fund
Sparrow Lake Camp will be 100 years old in 2012!
To mark the occasion we would like to encourage friends, if able, to consider donating a dollar for each year (i.e. $100.) as a special centennial gift. If we could collect $100.00 from every camper, staff member and Board member who has been a part of Sparrow Lake's history, we would be well positioned to get the camp looking its best in time for the centennial celebrations and to bring Sparrow Lake Camp into its next century.
Many or our existing camp buildings, some of which were built in the early 1900's, need refurbishing. We plan to begin work on the Dining Hall and Rec Hall this fall. We would be happy to receive post dated cheques, or periodic payments for any contribution you would be willing to make, to assist with capital improvements. If there is a child in your life, please tell them about your gift to Sparrow Lake Camp and share your reasons for giving back to a place that has touched your life in a positive and meaningful way.
To make a donation simply click on the "Make a Donation" icon on the left menu or send your cheque to:
