Happy almost Colorado Gives Day from the entire Camp Chief Ouray team!
This time of year, we’re taking time to reflect on the impact we make, not just for our current campers, families, and alumni, but for the future ahead.
In summer 2025, we awarded more scholarship dollars than ever before. The need continues to grow, and ensuring that every child can experience the life-changing impact of camp has never been more important. When I think about what that means, I’m reminded that my highest calling as a camp professional is to create a safe, welcoming space where kids can be their best selves, and grow into confident, kind, and inclusive leaders for tomorrow.
As you consider a gift this Colorado Gives Day, I invite you to reflect on the ripple effect of your generosity. No matter the size, your gift helps build the future, not just of camp but of the world beyond it. You are helping shape leaders who show up with confidence, compassion, and collaboration in a world that needs it more than ever.
Colorado Gives Day is tomorrow, and we would love for you to follow along with us. Tune into our social channels throughout the day as we share our progress, celebrate milestones, and highlight the impact your support makes possible.
Join me in investing in our future by giving tomorrow during Colorado Gives Day.
