Close your eyes for a moment and imagine this: a child, wide-eyed with wonder, standing at the base of a mountain they’re about to climb for the very first time. Their heart races, not with fear, but with excitement. By the end of the summer, that same child will stand at the summit—grinning from ear to ear, stronger, braver, and forever changed.
That’s the magic of Camp Pok-O-MacCready. And it’s a magic that exists because of our generous donors.
In 2024, 60 children were able to trade the noise of their everyday lives for the serenity of nature, the hum of campfire songs, and the thrill of new adventures. They swapped screens for sunsets, routines for risks, and doubts for dreams. Camp wasn’t just a break from the ordinary; it was a leap into self-discovery and a life-changing journey.
Here’s the truth: for many of these kids, Pok-O isn’t just a summer—it’s a lifeline. It’s where they find courage they didn’t know they had, friendships they didn’t know they needed, and a world bigger than they ever imagined.
Our donors' generosity made all of this possible. They gave a child the chance to swim, fish, and hike in the Adirondacks. They didn’t just give a gift—they gave a dream.
Together we can create stories of bravery, joy, and triumph for generations of campers to come. Thank you to all of our supporters for believing in the magic of camp and the power of opportunity.
