Camp Equipment & Capital Improvement Grant Program
Due to an abundant number of requests from camps serving children with inherited bleeding disorders, we no longer provide assistance to camps that do not serve children with inherited bleeding disorders. In addition, 25% of your yearly campers MUST be children effected by bleeding disorders.
The Camp Equipment and Capital Improvement Grant Program honors the spirit and vision of Colburn-Keenan’s founders. Donald Colburn and Kathy Ann Keenan were true believers in the benefits of the camp experience for children. The Foundation has developed this program to help camps serving children with inherited bleeding disorders.
Funding is available to help enrich or update your camp through the purchase of new equipment or by investing in facility improvement.
Think wish list – do you need something for your medical station, new sporting equipment, or maybe supply costs to build a new fire pit or storage shed? The Foundation is open to your needs and ideas and is looking for you to tell us how this addition or improvement to your camp will make a difference.
