Established in 1921, Camp Allen today is a nationally recognized recreational, educational, and spiritual retreat center.  With an eye to the future we have established the Centennial Fund for Sustainability which will keep the camp in a strong leadership position for the years to come. The Board of Trustees has identified twenty-one projects to be completed over the next three years. The projects are divided into two categories: projects aimed at expanding Camp Allen’s capacity, and projects focused on further improving operations.  We invite you to participate in our Centennial Fund and help make the vision of Campsite 4 and remaining campaign projects a reality. Your support will enable Camp Allen to continue to be a safe and inspirational destination for our 65,000 annual guests.

We are thrilled to announce the JE and LE Mabee Foundation has issued a $630,000 challenge grant to help us reach our Centennial Fund goal. If we are able to meet their match requirements, we will stay on schedule to complete the campaign and build Campsite 4 in time for summer campers in 2021 – the year we celebrate our Centennial. To date, we have raised over $12 million and are so very appreciative to the Mabee Foundation for this incentive to motivate other donors and help us reach our goal. We are grateful to the foundations, families, and individuals who have supported us along this Centennial journey. And it has been a journey - a concerted effort of many overthree years working very, very hard. It has been a meaningful and joyful experience because we have deepened relationships with old friends and developed many new friends along the way. Completing the Centennial Fund will ensure that Camp Allen has the facilities, space, and resources to serve more people into the next decade and beyond.
