In We had to say goodbye to our beloved “Big Deck” after years of wear and tear finally caught up to it.
The big deck always lacked protection from the sun making it one of the sunniest and hottest places at camp thus making it unusable for large portions of the summer days. As we began to think creatively about what to build in its place, one thing was clear: we need shade!
We are hoping to create a space where kids can sit comfortably in a circle for a Bible study or jump up and play a game of tag. This space will be made of industrial strength shade sails that will block 98% of UV rays to keep kids cool and protected from the sun.
The long-lasting shade sail material is ideal for our design, but the catch it’s not cheap. Each strip will cost Ferncliff $750. Multiply that by fourteen and you get $10,500 in material costs for this project. That’s why we need your support on this global day of giving.
Summers aren’t getting any cooler but with your help Ferncliff will!
Goal 1: We’ve been blessed with by a matching gift of $5,000. That means that with $5,000 in donations we will really have $10,000!
Goal 2: If we reach 100 individual donations, Joel Gill, our Executive Director, will pitch in $5 for every donation of $25 or more.
Thanks in advance for your steadfast support!
