My name is Dot Parker and I've gone to Live Oak Wilderness camp for six years with my little siblings. It is truly my favorite place on Earth.
Between January 2024 and June 2025, our Live Oak team is raising $1m (!) to support our growth and expansion, including an increase in camper enrollment of up to 50% as we move to our new site.
How your funds will be put to work
Live Oak’s work supports five strategic investment areas: Summer Camp, Wilderness Adventures, Gatherings, Year Round Growth Experiences, and Beyond Camp Support. See more about their recent impact in our 2024 End of Year Recap.
This $1m campaign will fuel major investments across our organizational priorities:
-
$500,000 to increase our Scholarships for Summer Camp and Wilderness Adventures for youth ages 7-16.
-
$250,000 to expand our Year Round Growth Experiences throughout middle and high school years.
- $250,000 to scale up our Beyond Camp Supports for hundreds of oldest campers and alumni in high school and college.
