Dear Nature Camp Friends,
A special thanks to all who participated in the Ukrops Golden Gift Receipts program. The response was better than last year, and we hope to participate in this program for many years to come. Your contributions helped Nature Camp to have another successful summer. Thank you for your support!

While the current economy may challenge your giving goals, we ask you to consider a donation to the Annual Fund. Every dollar helps! This year, we are pleased to announce that your contribution to the 2009 Annual Fund qualifies you for a drawing at the end of the year for a custom bike (generously donated by former camper Whit Brooks). More details about the bike and how to donate will follow in our November letter. If you have already contributed this year, (either to the annual fund or through your campaign pledge payment), your name has automatically been added into the lottery. And there is no minimum to qualify, as every gift matters!

I would also encourage you to visit the Nature Camp Foundation website at:
www.naturecampfoundation.org, which includes details about adult sessions, service weekends and future Nature Camp events. Donations through Paypal are also available on our website under the “support” header. Thank you for your continued support.

? Latham Schweitzer Coates, Nature Camp Foundation Development Chair
