Camp's Capital Campaign
Our Progress
Thanks to the generosity of our Camp & Diocesan Family, as well as several Delaware foundations, we have raised more than $6,000,000, including a $1,000,000 lead gift to name the center and a $500,000 gift from the Episcopal Church in Delaware. Our goal is to break ground in August 2021 and open the center in May 2022 for the camping season.
The Jane Clifton Ashford Center will deepen our connection to the local community and to organizations throughout Delaware, and make camp a reality for thousands more youth through scholarships and nonprofit partnerships.
We hope you will take the opportunity to learn more and visit the links below including renderings of the beautiful new Jane Clifton Ashford Center, a link to the recording of a recent campaign update, and the naming opportunities. Stay tuned for all of the ways you can join us in Ringing the Bell! Thank you for your generous support.
