Dear Camper Families: As many of you have heard by now, your Florida Lions Camp has been in a real struggle as to whether or not to even hold summer camp sessions this summer. A very close vote by our Board of Directors is allowing us to send out our applications for summer ’08. One of the most hotly debated items on the agenda was camper fees. There were two sides to this issue: one pushing for an increase to help alleviate the $220,000 dollars in losses suffered by FLC last year and one pushing for camper fees to remain the most affordable prices in Florida for similar camps - one of the reasons FLC is so attractive to potential campers. One of the other highly debated topics was help from parents in the area of fundraising. While some parents work year after year raising money to keep camper fees low, some parents aren’t as active in doing so. The Board of Directors and staff discussed these issues and have come to what we feel to be a fair compromise and an answer to some of these issues. The “I Believe” policy for FLC campers and families will look to get everyone more involved with raising funds to keep camper fees at camp as low as possible. The “I Believe” policy will call for the following: · All camper families who raise $100 toward either the annual FLC Walk-a-thon or the FLC Gulf Coast Charity Swim will continue to pay the $350 fee for a week at camp. Any camper family that does not participate in fundraising efforts to keep camper fees low, will be charged a $500 fee for a week at camp This policy is meant to reward those parents taking an active part in helping camp keep fees affordable. We also understand that some families truly are in need of assistance and we will continue to work with families in this situation to get their camper to camp. Your camp needs your help and we are confident that you will understand this in your efforts to assist us. Again we stress that this policy is being put in place to unite us in raising money for our camp, not to divide us. The only way that this camp will survive and improve and touch the lives of hundreds of campers a year is through our work together. If you have any questions about the policy, how to get involved or any further camp questions, please contact the persons below. Thank you for your help in keeping the mission of “giving a world of good through camping to ALL” with varying abilities alive, and we look forward to the strides we can make together in the name of this mission. PLEASE HELP US MAKE SURE THAT SUMMER 2008 IS NOT OUR LAST SUMMER but the beginning of a more stable financial future for FLC!
