30 days of PSWD Fair Share - Elementary Camp

Thanks to every congregation that pays their Fair Share dues 

to the PSWD and the UUA (called the Annual Program Fund). 

I wonder if congregations and their leaders

understand what that money goes toward. 

So during the beautiful month of June

each day I'll lift up one program or ministry area

that is funded by 

YOUR PSWD Fair Share and 

UUA Annual Program Fund dollars. 

The first one is the PSWD Elementary Camp, 

held at our Camp de Benneville Pines. 

Every summer between 40-65 elementary-aged campers

come to Camp de Benneville Pines

for a week of UU fun. 

We worship, play, eat, sing, hike, swim, craft, think, laugh together, 

practicing the art of being human, 

living in UU community for a week, 

and responding to issues out of our shared UU values.

We have a wonderful volunteer staff of 20-25 people, 

who help our campers have the most successful week possible. 

Your dollars underwrite the total cost of camp for each camper

by providing scholarship money, 

paying the costs for staff to be at camp, 

paying salary of your Director of Lifespan Programs (that's me!)

to direct the camp, 

funding the supplies needed for camp, 

providing support for staff training and development, 

and a portion of your PSWD Fair Share goes

directly to Camp de Benneville, 

Thank you for doing your part 

when you give your PSWD Fair Share!
