Our camp is 100 years old, which makes it a sacred place with a rich history and unique charm. But to preserve the past, we must continually update our older buildings and enhance our facilities. People have high expectations when they arrive at Camp Allen, and we want to continue to meet or surpass those expectations.
​
These projects will ensure we can meet the demand in years to come. Estimates indicate that the total cost of these campus improvement projects will be approximately $8.9 million. Chaired by retired President George Dehan, Camp Allen has launched the Back to Nature campaign to fund these mission-critical improvements.
​
Please join us in “opening doors” to the Camp Allen experience –connecting more families and students with the great outdoors in a transformative way.
