Once again the CCAA comes through for Chanco. The outtrip equipment needed to be replaced and our alumni association, in a period of TWO WEEKS, raised enough money to buy absolutely everything on their wish list, plus a container for storage. The equipment has been purchased and was delivered to camp over the last few weeks. Here is a list of what we provided: mixing bowls, multiple pots and skillets, a griddle, can openers, cheese graters, cups, bowls and plates, serving utensils, 6 new tents, and a supply of propane for the summer. continue reading »

Dear CCAA Alums,

Financial worries like budget shortfalls and reductions in charitable giving make for difficult days in a mission like Camp Chanco. However, the CCAA has kept in close contact with camp and are pleased to report that both first and second session are near full and the other sessions are doing better than last year at this time. This is real growth, and is very good news indeed!

The Alumni Work Weekend went extremely well, and many alums were able to donate materials, time, and skills to the camp that really made a difference! continue reading »

So maybe you forgot. You were at the Fall Fest and you meant to make a donation. After all, you knew Boomer wasn't making any money on you charging $30 for a family -- there were oysters for goodness sake! But you got to talking to Tater, and it just slipped you mind.

Or you live in a very faraway place, all forms of transportation failed you, and you couldn't make it. But you still have that money burning a hole in your checkbook that you absolutely have to give to camp.

No worries, my friends. Just make your check payable to Chanco on the James and mail it to:
