Dear Camp Gailor-Maxon Supporters,
Speaking on behalf of the board, we appreciate the tremendous amount of support that has been expressed for Camp Gailor-Maxon (CGM). Many people have shared how their family members’ spiritual lives have been touched by experiences they’ve had at camp. It’s helpful to have been reminded of that.
The board has today approved the 2010 budget for CGM. It also approved the establishment of an alumni advisory group to funnel ideas for improving and helping grow CGM.
The success of all the programs at DuBose, including Camp Gailor-Maxon, is directly dependent on the number of participants that attend. Over the past 5 years, we’ve gone from 222 campers in 2003 to only 114 campers in 2009. The goal for 2011 is to increase attendance by 20% to 139 campers.
While attendance to CGM has been going down, the board’s camp committee, with the assistance of the advisory group, is working on ideas to turn that trend around. But, the quickest way to help the camp is to encourage and recruit more children and teens to attend!
Thank you for caring enough about Camp Gailor-Maxon to share your concerns with us. With your continued support, both CGM and DuBose are sure to have bright futures.
Very sincerely,
Buddy Adams
President, DuBose Board
