Honoring the Past, Building the Future: Keep the Campfire Burning at Camp Notre Dame

Dear Friend of Camp Notre Dame,

For 65 summers, Camp Notre Dame has offered more than just fun in the sun—it’s been a second home, a launching pad for lifelong friendships, and a place where kids grow in faith, friendship, and joy.

Ask anyone who’s spent even a single week with us, and you’ll likely hear echoes of what Michael said: "Summer isn't really summer until camp starts...Camp Notre Dame has opportunities for recreation, education and developing deep lasting friendships."

Emily adds, "Camp Notre Dame is the most welcoming, accepting, and loving place I've ever been. CND is a home away from home and a place where I can be free and focus on simply having fun!" And Marlena, a generational camper, shared: "I went here as a kid in the 80s and now my kids attend. Best summer camp ever!"

These moments are the heartbeat of Camp Notre Dame—and your support helps keep them alive.

Help Us Build the New Outdoor Activity Area

We’re excited to create a new space that celebrates nature, community, and spiritual reflection—a gathering place where campers unplug and reconnect through stories, teamwork, and marshmallows toasted by the fire.

This new area will honor St. Kateri Tekakwitha and the legacy of Camp Kateri, which joined our camp family in the 1960s. Here, campers will sit beneath shady trees, share stories, camp out overnight, and build lifelong values grounded in faith and friendship.

We’re also using funds to repair and upgrade beloved camp landmarks, including the Jungle Hut, Cabin Circle, and Fort Sliver.

Your Gift Builds More Than a Campfire

Every donation—large or small—helps us create this special place and ensure that Camp Notre Dame continues to shape young lives for generations to come. Please give today and become part of the legacy.

With heartfelt thanks and camper spirit,

Joel Alex, Executive Director
