Mara's Wanakee Fundraiser

I am thrilled to be fundraising for Wanakee again this year to help us cross the finish line of covering costs for our new health lodge!

Wanakee isn’t just a summer camp—it’s a place where young people can be fully, authentically themselves. It’s where screens are left behind, friendships are built face-to-face, and campers are encouraged to stretch beyond their comfort zones in a safe and nurturing environment. In a world that often feels overwhelming, spaces like Wanakee matter more than ever.

The new health lodge is a vital part of that experience. By updating our health facilities, we’re making a lasting investment in camper safety, well-being, and peace of mind—for both kids and their families.

Every gift brings us closer to the finish line. Whether it’s $1, $100, or $1,000, your support directly impacts the lives of campers by helping create a summer that is safer, happier, and full of possibility.

Experiences at Wanakee have impacted every facet of my life, from teaching me about service to others, creating open and inclusive spaces, and building leadership skills that have helped me in my career. Thank you for being part of this effort and helping us make Wanakee even stronger so it can be a place that impacts people for many generations to come!
