WINTER 2021
A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR 2020 DONORS AND VOLUNTEERS Camp Blue Skies may not have had in-person camps in 2020, but we succeeded in staying connected to our community of adults with developmental disabilities and our volunteers. With guidance from the Board of Directors, the team found ways to connect virtually and safely during a global pandemic. However, none of these accomplishments would have been possible without YOU. Your gifts of money, time, and wisdom helped make possible two Virtual Camps, mask mailings, inspiring videos, and small-group Zoom chats. We, along with our campers and volunteers, are grateful for your kindness and support. In March, we’ll once again host a Virtual Camp due to continued health concerns and the slow rollout of the vaccines. We hope to be able to gather safely for in-person camps and fundraising events this fall. If you’d like to be involved or have questions, please let us know: Contact@CampBlueSkies.org and 704-266-2267. Again, thank you. Your gifts in 2020 have made the world a better place for our campers.
