North Country School and Camp Treetops 2016-17 Annual Report

North Country School and Camp Treetops 2016-2017 annual report

“If there is any advice I can give you it is BE ADVENTUROUS… there is always something else you can learn. That is the beauty of Treetops. Make something in the camper kitchen, learn a new board game, make a wood project or a Super Loom. There is no other place [like this].…”

Greetings from Lake Placid

Dear Friends, Your extraordinary generosity to North Country School and Camp Treetops this year is a testament to your commitment to our campers and students. Thank you.

From a record Annual Fund to the success of the Strong Roots, High Peaks Campaign and the launch of an ambitious strategic plan, your support, in all its forms, continues to be vital to our success. We are pleased to present our Annual Report for September 1, 2016, through August 31, 2017.

The Annual Fund, boosted by Eileen Rockefeller’s Challenge, finished the fiscal year at more than $1.36 million from 1,015 donors. You can take pride in this remarkable giving that supported: • more than $960,000 in need-based tuition assistance to over 30 percent of campers and students; • opportunities for hands-on learning and creative exploration—from designing and building a new footbridge to learning about our new honeybee hive to participating in theater competitions and art shows; • many outdoor adventures, such as taking a trip across Round Lake to swim off the shore of the Eileen Rockefeller House (RockE), enjoying multi-day hikes in the Adirondack backcountry, learning new tricks on the campus ski hill, or cantering on horseback for the first time.

At Friends’ Weekend in August, we were thrilled to celebrate our community’s generosity to the $25 million Strong Roots, High Peaks Campaign. More than 3,160 donors gave to this campaign since it began 10 years ago. The following two pages highlight this effort’s impact on our facilities and endowment. You can read more about the celebration on page 25.

In May, we unveiled a comprehensive strategic plan that honors tradition and history by ensuring the excellence of our current programs while also designing new, compelling initiatives. For more information on the plan, which we are in the first stages of implementing, visit: https://goo.gl/ty3WAQ Your generosity makes it possible for our faculty and staff to continue doing what they do best: ensuring that NCS and Treetops have an impact on children long after they have left.

Thanks again and know that you always have a home here below Balanced Rocks.

Sincerely,

Barkley Stuart Chair, Board of Trustees

I will remember you best by one simple conversation. I asked you how you were doing one day and you replied simply, “Great.”

“Why?” I asked.

You simply looked out the window at the beautiful sunny day, the snow hanging off of the trees and said, “Because of this.”

It was all that needed to be said.

LEAVE YOUR LEGACY

“After my husband, Sam, and I moved from L.A. back to the East Coast, we met with an estate lawyer to ensure we had the proper plans in place for our young daughter, June. Our lawyer suggested we consider including a nonprofit in our wills, and I immediately chose Camp Treetops, an organization that has been very meaningful to me for so much of my life. I really do think of Treetops in some aspect every day. As a camper, I learned where our food comes from, the importance of conserving the earth’s resources (shut the water off when you brush your teeth!), and the power of community and good friends.

Treetops is such an incredible place and I haven’t come across anything else like it. This is why Sam and I are thrilled to join the Balanced Rocks Circle, a group of members who are preserving Camp and School for future generations of children.”

-Meredith Kovach (CTT 84-85) and Sam Eaton

Balanced Rocks Circle We are very grateful to the community members who (as of August 31, 2017) have included North Country School and Camp Treetops in their estate plans, thereby becoming members of our Balanced Rocks Circle.

If NCS and Treetops are included in your estate plans and your name is not listed here or if you would like more information about the Balanced Rocks Circle, please contact Matt Donahue at 518-837-5446 or mdonahue@ ncstreetops.org.

“I enjoyed this summer to the full extent: I went on a 5-day [hiking trip]; I planned a “Harvest Meal” with my best friend; I went on the Idiot [a long hiking/ paddling trip]; and I became a 46er. Camp has given me so many opportunities to accomplish things I can be proud of.”
