As the rising sun burns away the morning mist, a chorus of campers breaks the lake’s stillness as they race to the water for morning dippers. This Northern Lights tradition wakes up camp, connects campers to nature, and starts the day with energy and community.

At Northern Lights, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to experience nature, build meaningful friendships and discover new strengths in the outdoors. For families who call Northern Lights home, camp creates experiences that foster connection, growth and a lifelong appreciation for the natural world.

Unfortunately, financial barriers can prevent some families from accessing these experiences. That’s why Northern Lights is committed to making camp more accessible.

This fall, I’m raising money through the I ❤️ Camp campaign to help Northern Lights reach its $10,000 fundraising goal. Every gift to the Annual Fund helps provide financial assistance and expand access to camp.

Join me in showing some love for CNL!
