Camp STAR [video here] is a week-long camp for children, ages 6 through 12, with a physical or developmental disability that might keep them from enjoying a typical camping experience. Nestled into the peaceful, rural setting that is at The Y at Watson, it is our goal to provide a safe and supervised way for your child to enjoy camping and swimming. We look forward to "going camping" with your child and as you peruse this web site perhaps you might think of ways you help us with the Camp STAR program.The camp is sponsored by the Rotary Clubs from the Southern Tier of New York State including the Bath, Canisteo, Corning, Chemung Sunrise, Elmira, Elmira Heights, Horseheads, Prattsburgh and Watkins-Montour Rotary Clubs. Here's a presentation about how our local Rotary Clubs participate in funding and how you can help: video.
Our club needs to provide support to Camp Star immediately. We have been listing the opportunity for the golf tournament [major fundraiser], but need people to register ASAP. Another way to donate is to donate items that they can use as prizes. Contact Marianne to arrange.
Finally, you can donate money directly to the Camp - click here.
It's important that we step up for this. The club assessments can't cover the cost of the camp - so Camp Star needs to have these fund raising events be successful, so th
at the camp can support these wonderful kids.
