HAPPY GIVING TUESDAY Y’ALL! Giving Tuesday is another great day to share appreciation and celebrate this unbelievably special community!
And what, dare I ask, makes this community so darn special? It’s the people, of course!! So thank you all for making this community possible through your support, your time, and your love that keeps this family together.

Here are a few special facts that make Camp Jabberwocky unique:

🕰 Campers never age out! Once accepted to Jabberwocky, you can come to camp your entire life. We have campers in their 70s who have been sleeping in the same bunk bed for 40 years!

💰 Camp is free for our campers to attend! It costs Jabberwocky about $2,000 a session per camper.

🏃🏽‍♀️ Jabberwocky is almost entirely volunteer-run! Volunteers spend anywhere from 14 days to 10 weeks at camp each summer. We hire over 160 volunteers to run camp each summer, from doctors to nurses, counselors, and cooks; everyone is a volunteer.

Please consider giving the gift of camp this holiday season by making a donation using the link in our bio.

We love you, we appreciate you, and we can’t wait for all the goodness that’s on the horizon 🌅

Love,
Camp ❤️
