Help us revitalize Camp and support the student field camp experience!
The Camp Davis field program is a defining experience of the Department’s undergraduate program, and helps position us at the forefront of field education. We could not do this important work without your support!
Most of the funds for the Camp Davis revitalization project are already lined up from the department, the College, and some very generous donors. But we still need significant support from additional donors, and that’s where you come in!
Join (or start) a cohort!
We’re launching a cohort-based model as a framework for people to work together to raise funds for this project. We’ve identified a few cohorts based on attendance year, and a few AAB members have signed on as “Captains”. Cohorts can be based on any shared experience – for example “Summited Cream Puff” or “Denver Alums.” If you are interested in captaining or joining a cohort in support of this project, please fill out this form once you have completed your donation.
If you have questions about the project or captaining or joining a cohort, please email us at [email protected].
Individual or family giving
Of course, you don’t have to join a cohort to give! We welcome gifts to the Camp Davis Renovation Fund to support the revitalization of our Camp Davis campus, or to the Camp Davis Strategic Fund that can be used more broadly.
Ways to Support Camp Davis Programs
- Join a cohort and compete against other cohorts to see who can raise the most money. Fill out this form to get started, and then complete your gift here.
- Pledge an annual gift over the next five years. If your employer matches your charitable giving, both your total pledge, and the total matching amount from your employer can be counted towards our fundraising goals. Example pledge letter.
- Plan for Camp Davis in your estate through a bequest. Planned gifts that are documented with the University can be counted towards the fundraising goals of the student cabin renovation. Example Memorandum of Agreement. Example Declaration of Intent.
If you are interested in making a pledge or a planned gift, please contact Camp Director, Nathan Niemi ([email protected]); (734) 764-6377) or LSA Major Gifts Officer, Janel Alpert ([email protected]).
