Camp Waupaca - "Team Mess Hall"
"Team Mess Hall"!

If you have not yet heard, the mess hall at Camp Waupaca is in serious need of repairs. Working collaboratively with Camp Young Judaea, we have created "Team Mess Hall" to show our financial support to bringing the mess hall back safe, usable condition. To that end, CYJ has set up a dedicated website just for us to make a tax-free donation to help us support their efforts financially. Our goal is to raise $50,000 towards this project! Any donation, big or small, will help us achieve this goal. Can't make a large donation? Consider making a series of smaller donations through the summer.

UPDATE 01/06/2025 - work is underway to repair the dining hall! CLICK HERE to see photos of the dining hall restoration that is underway.
