Giving Tuesday
Celebrate 50 Years of Junior Leadership with Facility Upgrades - $150,000 Matching Grant
For 50 years, the Junior Leadership (JL) program has been helping teens form lifelong friendships, grow as leaders, and make Christian Science their own.
Last summer, JL blessed over 100 camper and staff participants. In 2022, the Dome and Treehouse living quarters were expanded and air-conditioned, and the Palace received a new covered dining deck, washing machines, and kitchen renovations.
For the 50th summer, help us complete the final $300,000 in JL facility renovations. Key upgrades include a new boys' bathhouse (expanding from two to five showers and from two to four toilets for 20 campers and staff at a time); new siding for the Palace; and updated living quarters and meeting space for the program Christian Science practitioner.
Whether you experienced Junior Leadership in tents, the Arks, or the Palace, we invite you to join the CedarS family in supporting current and future generations of Junior Leaders!

A Day of Generosity
#GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. #GivingTuesday is now an independent nonprofit and a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
As a non-profit organization, CedarS relies on donor angels to open our gates every summer. Each Giving Tuesday provides the opportunity to highlight needs for the upcoming season.
This day has inspired philanthropy in many first-time donors, including campers and staff. We've been humbled by campers who have given their babysitting money, weekly allowance, or savings to contribute to camp! For #Giving Tuesday 2021, there were 423 donors including campers, current counselors, and recent young alumni.
