The Paivika Buddies Campership Campaign

2010/2011 Campership Campaign Launched

Providing quality outdoor camping experiences for children and adults with disabilities has been Camp Paivika's mission for almost 65 years. Until recently, the majority of campers were able to attend a summer session at Camp Paivika because of state funding provided through the California Regional Center system. That funding came to an abrupt end in 2009 due to state budgetary restraints. In 2010, camper and staff alumni--together with their friends, families, employers and others--stepped into the breach, contributing $44,750 to a "Campership" fund that assists families who might otherwise be unable to afford a week at camp. Contributors dug deep into their pockets because they believe that no camper with limited means should be denied a week at Camp Paivika.

It’s now 2011, and Camp Paivika is again planning for a full season of cook-outs, dances, sing-alongs, hiking, horseback riding, crafts activities, and all-around good times. Paivika.com is ready to help with the effort to raise private donations, and the Campership Campaign Committee has agreed to a new goal of $50,000.

Over the next several weeks you may be contacted by one of your fellow camp alumni who will ask if you are able to contribute to the Paivika Buddies Campership Campaign. This voluntary effort will help keep the Paivika experience alive for children and adults with special needs.
