We are truly blown away by the incredible generosity of our community!

Thanks to your support, we’ve raised an amazing amount for our Campership Fund—opening the door for more kids to experience the joy and impact of summer camp.

A very special thank you to Gifts for Good Foundation, the City of Columbus, and The Columbus Foundation for their extraordinarily generous contributions. Your leadership is helping make camp possible for so many young people.

For many kids, summer camp isn’t just fun—it’s transformational. It’s where friendships are formed, confidence grows, and kids get the chance to explore, learn, and simply be kids in a safe and supportive environment.

Because of you, more children will spend this summer swimming, exploring the outdoors, and creating memories that last a lifetime.

A huge thank you to U.S. Bank for showing up in such a big way on May 13!

With a team of dedicated volunteers helping us prepare camp for the summer season, so much important work got done to make sure everything is ready for our campers. From setting up spaces to tackling projects across camp, their energy and commitment made a lasting impact.

Getting Camp Mary Orton ready for summer simply wouldn’t be possible without volunteers like you. We’re so grateful for your partnership and support. Our campers will feel the difference all season long!

Preparing the path for summer!

We’re so grateful to our partners from Chase Bank who recently spent time at Camp Mary Orton clearing trails and helping us get ready for the season ahead. Because of their hard work, campers will arrive next month to a space that’s welcoming, safe, and ready for exploration.
It takes a community to make camp happen and we’re better because of partners like Chase.
Thank You!

Every kid deserves a summer that sparks possibility.

This year, you can help make that happen.

For many families, the cost of camp is the difference between a summer filled with growth, friendships, and confidence — and one spent missing out. Our Campership Fund removes that barrier, ensuring every child can experience the joy, learning, and belonging that camp brings at Camp Mary Orton.

Your gift opens a door.
To discovery.
To new skills.
To resilience.
To a child’s next step forward.
Together, we can say yes to more kids than ever before.

Let’s build a summer where every child’s “next” starts here.
