Highlights from our previous projects:
The Emerald Bay Alumni Campfire Circle (2007-2009)
With your help, we raised over $95,0000 towards the new Campfire Circle! This summer we completed our largest project to date: The Emerald Bay Alumni Campfire Circle. Many years in the making, the renovation is a spectacular testament to the strength and generosity of our community. Meticulously built of interlocking stones, turned to face the bay, and expanded to accommodate more than 750 guests, it is a stunning facility that will be enjoyed by thousands of Campers and Staff for many years to come.
The Emerald Bay Campership Program (2009)
The EBA donated $15,000 towards the Emerald Bay Campership Program for the 2009 season. This benefited approximately 60 scouts who would otherwise not have the opportunity to experience Emerald Bay's amazing programs!
The new "Rugged Adventurers" Program (2006)
With your help, we contributed $13,000 towards the purchase of much-needed, new equipment for the brand-new "Rugged Adventurers" high-adventure program in camp (and all around the island!).
New Docks for the Waterfront (2004-2005)
With your help, we raised $31,000 to replace all of the aging docks on the waterfront. This was our largest
fundraising effort to date, and we surpassed all expectations! Thanks to you, the camp now has a complete set of new, durable docks!
Thirty New Mountain Bikes for Camp (2003)
With your help, we purchased 30 new mountain bikes
to replace the aging fleet. The mountain-biking
program at EB has been incredibly popular since it
introduction in the mid 1990s when the current bike fleet was
originally purchased.
The new bikes are already seeing a tremendous amount of use
(they're used almost every day of the summer), by scouts,
scoutmasters, staff, and alumni. The mountain-biking
program at EB is a great addition to the camp activities,
and thanks to ALUMNI LIKE YOU, we were able to keep this
exciting program going!
A New Rifle Range for Camp (2002)
The old rifle range was built in the early 1950s and no longer
adequately supported the needs of the fieldsports program.
The new facility was built in part through the funds we raised!
The Emerald Bay Alumni contributed $20,000 towards the $60,000
needed for the new range (the final cost
was much higher than expected). Alan Solursh has generously
donated and fundraised to make up the difference, and the new Solursh Rifle Range is
proudly named in his honor.
Thank you to everyone who contributed!!
Together, we are making a tremendous difference!
