Charities Founded and Supported by
the Camp Nebagamon Community
"He who builds with youth erects the temples of the future."
For more than 50 years the generosity of the Nebagamon community has resulted in many children attending camps throughout the United States. These are youngsters whose families have not been in the financial position to afford camp.
Camp Nebagamon's alumni community generously supports two camping-related charities. Camperships For Nebagamon and the Camp Nebagamon Scholarship Fund are qualified by the Internal Revenue Service as public charities. Donations to both are generally deductible for federal (and often state) tax purposes.
Donations may be made via credit card (see links below) or by check (mail to PO Box 331, East Troy, WI, 53120). A donor may also give appreciated investment property, such as stock, and receive a charitable deduction from Federal income tax for the full value of the property without having to pay capital gains tax. Either charity may receive charitable bequests under wills and may be named as the beneficiary of charitable trusts.. Finally, gifts of whole life insurance policies also represent a good way to contribute at low current cost.
Camperships For Nebagamon
Truly Making Camp A Place of Welcome For All
Founded in 1995, Camperships For Nebagamon (CFN) supports children who otherwise would not be able to enjoy a private camping experience. These children, from a diversity of backgrounds, enjoy life-changing experiences and enrich the camp community with their diverse cultural perspectives. CFN aims to support campers for multiple years, giving them sustained access to a summer community in which to build friendships and identity.
Leveraging income from the Muggs and Janet Lorber Endowment Fund and individual donations, CFN provides partial tuition for more than 20 boys attending Camp Nebagamon each year. Since 2002, CFN has also funded partial tuition for girls attending Camp WeHaKee, located in the Chequamegon National Forest of northern Wisconsin. As funds allow, CFN plans to identify other "partner" camps to fulfill its charitable goals.
Utilizing an annual evaluation process, CFN's board has been heartened by the positive impact of its funding on individual campers and the broader camp communities.
CFN depends upon continued contributions to sustain current campership levels and to be able to increase the aid available each year (both to keep up with the rising costs of private camps and to increase, as possible, the number of camperships provided each summer).

The Camp Nebagamon Scholarship Fund
A Path Toward Success for Disadvantaged Children
The Camp Nebagamon Scholarship Fund transforms the lives of at-risk children, helping them attend not-for-profit camps where they learn to overcome challenges including poverty and violence in their home communities, and cognitive, psychological or physical disabilities.
Recipient camps are uniquely qualified to change the lives of troubled children – not only through recreation and friendship, but also by teaching those skills and values needed for success in life. Through these CN Scholarship Fund-supported camping experiences, disadvantaged children form life-changing relationships with peers and staff members who share their challenges and can serve as powerful role models and mentors in coping with adversity.
The generosity of Camp Nebagamon alumni and friends has helped thousands of disadvantaged children since the CN Scholarship Fund was established in 1947 by Muggs and Janet Lorber. It has been administered by Sally and Nardie Stein since 1958. Donations serve children in their own communities in many of the cities where Nebagamon campers and alumni live.
