From Our Campaign Chair

Dear Friends,

Dear Friends,

The Board of North Country School and Camp Treetops is pleased to present the Annual Report for 2011-2012. As the newly elected Board Chair, I am honored—humbled, in fact—to serve you and the children of Camp and School.

I am delighted to provide the first update on The Strong Roots, High Peaks Campaign—our unprecedented, $25 million fundraising effort to strengthen programs, facilities, and fiscal health for generations to come.

Under the leadership of Hock and my extraordinary predecessor, Matt Davidson, the place has grown stronger every year. We have balanced our 10th consecutive budget.

Total giving this year topped $3.8 million in gifts and pledges. The Annual Fund raised $982,902, another new record. One hundred thirteen first-time donors joined our ranks, bringing to 850 the total number of contributors.

Thank you for your generosity.

We understand that our job is to earn your loyalty and support every day. Hock and Karen have assembled talented teams of dedicated adults who create transformative experiences for children. Winter or summer, learning is at the core. The farm and gardens have never been more robust, creating for children deep connections to nature and their food sources. The campus grows increasingly green; last year alone, we reduced our carbon emissions by 20 percent and our fuel costs by $35,000.

In short, the place is on a roll. Our newly announced, $25 million Strong Roots, High Peaks Campaign has quietly raised more than $13 million in cash and pledges as of December 2012. (See next page for more from our Campaign Chair.)

Our forward motion would not be possible without your generosity. Simple thanks seem inadequate. Still, we offer them to you with humility and dedication to the children who are our cause.

With gratitude,

At the close of fiscal year 2012 (August 31, 2012), Strong Roots, High Peaks had raised $12.9 million. Many, many thanks to all who contributed. This sum supports three major funding areas: the Annual Fund (which in turn underwrites the annual operation of Camp and School); capital improvements to campus buildings and infrastructure; and increased endowment for scholarships and faculty and staff support.

The generosity of Campaign supporters during the “quiet phase” has made possible an array of impressive accomplishments. These include:

For more information, contact Jeff Woods, Director of Advancement, (jwoods@ncstreetops.org or 518-837-5446) or visit the Campaign webpages (www.nct.org/strongrootshighpeaks).

• a new waste water treatment plant • major barn area improvements and garden expansions • green construction of New House (student/staff residence) • reproduction of the Treetops Hanging House • installation of state-of-the-art biomass heating plants that have reduced both our carbon footprint and heating expenses.

Campaign goals for 2013 are just as exciting. We aim to complete the remodeling of an NCS admissions suite in Glass House; achieve a $1 million Annual Fund; complete a naming drive for New House; and start the renovation of the Treetops Main House.

Given the loyalty and generosity of our community, the future of the Campaign, like that of School and Camp, couldn’t be any brighter.

Warm regards,

Dennis Aftergut NCS parent 06-08, CTT parent 07, Trustee 07-present Barkley Stuart, Campaign Chair CTT 69-72, CTT parent 03-07, NCS parent 09-11, Trustee 09-present
