It’s a FUNdraiser to Bring Camp to Life!

This year’s alumni reunion isn’t just about reconnecting with old friends and reminiscing. It’s also our opportunity to invest in the next generation of Cameron House kids.

We hope you’ll consider supporting the current youth programs, especially after learning about what’s new (and what’s familiar!) from some of the current campers, staffers, and volunteers. Every dollar raised at the reunion will directly support Cameron House’s youth and their overnight camping experiences.

Here are just a few examples of how your generosity helps make Cameron House camp experiences possible.

🔥 $180 — Light the Campfire
A gift of $180 from each reunion attendee would help us reach our $40,000 fundraising goal. Help rekindle the traditions, friendships, and unforgettable camp moments that have inspired Cameron House kids for generations.

🎵 $300 — Sing the Next Camp Song
Give today’s campers the chance to laugh, learn, and create the lifelong memories that begin around a campfire and echo for years to come.

🥾 $500 — Leave Your Legacy on the Trail
Honor the memories that shaped your childhood by helping the next generation discover confidence, belonging, and adventure in the great outdoors.

⛺ $1,000 — Pitch the Tent
Create a home away from home where campers build courage, independence, and friendships that often last a lifetime.

🚌 $5,000 — Fill the Bus
Send an entire bus of Cameron House campers on the journey of a lifetime, creating the same sense of wonder, resilience, and community that generations of alumni still carry with them today.

This reunion is also an opportunity to support Cameron House’s growing youth programs. While attendance is completely free, those who wish will have the opportunity to learn more about the next generation of Cameron House youth and how we can help ensure they have the same life-changing experiences, friendships, and memories that so many of us cherish today.

We can’t wait to see familiar faces, hear old stories, and celebrate the generations of people who helped make Cameron House such a special place.

Come reconnect. Come reminisce. Come home.

With warmest regards,

Barb Fong, Tommy Lim, Byron Ho, and Liane Wong
Friends of Cameron House Committee

A Great, Big THANK YOU!

We want to recognize and thank the wonderful people and organizations who have made this event possible. 

Thank you to Daniel Ng, Harry Chuck, and Ron Gin for their generous use of their photos and videos. We also appreciate the enthusiasm and participation from all of you for contributing to our photo slideshow. We know that digitizing and uploading is not always easy, but it is always time-consuming. For your time and for the many years’ of effort in caring for these precious moments so that future generations can enjoy them, thank you.

For the drawing prizes, thank you, Darien Louie and Michael Fong for the incredible Warriors tickets, the San Francisco Symphony, ACT Theater, Berkeley Rep, and CATS. 

Thank you to the Class of 1972, Angelettes and Cobras, for sponsoring the entire reunion, covering our overhead expenses so that every single dollar raised at the reunion can go directly to youth programs. We are equally grateful for the Class of 1974 who spearheaded the first donations. Your generosity is beautiful, but your thoughtfulness and foresight are legendary. To the many ambassadors who dedicated their time, love of Cameron House, and extensive networks to get the word out about the reunion—wow! And thank you.

And—there will be plenty more to come on this topic, but big, BIG thank yous in advance to the dozens of volunteers who have committed their time and elbow grease to making this event run smoothly. We simply cannot do this without you.
