Our Campership Program is funded by donations from individuals and families. We want to make Camp Trinity available to every child who would like to spend a session on the Ranch. You can help us achieve that goal when you donate to the Campership Fund! Contributions to our Campership Fund are tax-deductible and 100% of all donations will be applied to providing a Camp experience for a deserving child. If you would like to enable a child to obtain a Bar 717 Ranch/Camp Trinity experience, then please donate now.
Or donate to the Campership Fund by check. Checks can be made payable to the Bar 717 Ranch/ ACA Campership Fund, and mailed to The Bar 717 Ranch, 17197 Hyampom Road, Hayfork, CA, 96041. Within a few weeks of making a donation, you will receive a confirmation receipt from the Bar 717 Ranch.
Donor Testimonials
“I love giving to the Bar 717 Ranch Campership Fund. It helps me stay connected to a place that was pivotal in my life and development. I love knowing that my donation helps ensure Camp is accessible to everyone. I give a small amount each month so everyone at Camp knows they can count on me, just like I’ve always counted on them.”
– A. Cassidy, Camper and Staff Alumna
“Unambiguously, the single best thing I have done as a parent for my kids has been to send them to Camp Trinity. (Never mind that it was one of the best things my parents did for me!) Every child deserves this opportunity. I feel privileged to be able to help provide this awesome opportunity to other children.”
-E. Small, Parent and Camp Alumnus
“The camper experience had such a profound effect on our children, we felt it imperative to contribute in order that the opportunity could be extended to as many young people as possible!”
– N. & J. Grossman, Parents
“I went to Camp Trinity in the late 80’s and early 90’s. I remember rounding the corner to camp, the friendships I made, the horseback riding, and the easy flow of a day without the stresses of home. Camp was both an escape from a sometimes chaotic home life and a safe place I could return to myself. It was the place where I really got to know the person I wanted to be.
There was no question that we would send our daughter, Eliza, to camp when she became old enough, and we have returned as adult campers for a week of Family camp several times in the years following.
But we also know we are extraordinarily privileged to be able to give her the gift of a camp experience. And because of the gratitude we feel for what camp has given me, Mark and Eliza, I want to make sure any camper who wants to go, can – without worry about costs.
This is why Mark and I regularly give to the Campership Fund. We know that our gift will provide direct support to send kids to Camp Trinity so they can have the same life changing experiences we’ve had as campers.”
