Legacy Funds
Legacy funds are an impactful way to honor the memory of a loved one. A Legacy Fund is set up at Experience Camps to create an everlasting impact, providing joy, hope, and support for grieving children in the name of a person whose own values and spirit reflect those of our mission. A percentage of the fund is used each year to cover the cost of one or more campers, allowing the impact of this legacy to exist in perpetuity. By growing the fund through investment income and additional contributions, the impact becomes even greater.
