We are so close!
Thank you for matching the $30,000 pledged by 6 generous donors!
BECAUSE OF YOUR HELP, we have only $14,300 TO GO.
Three of Great Camp Sagamore’s Plein Air painters have donated paintings to help us close the gap by August 31.
Beginning on August 18, anyone who donates $50 or more will have their name placed in a drawing to win one of 4 paintings donated by these three painters.
THANK YOU TO OUR ARTISTS: Barbara Danowski; Shelby Harrison; and Gretchel Hathaway.

Dr. Barbara Danowski is a cell biologist and Professor of Biological Sciences at Union College in Schenectady, NY. The 2016 Plein Air Painting Workshop at Great Camp Sagamore was her first introduction to painting (outside of kindergarten). She fell in love with the luminous colors as well as the unpredictability of watercolor painting, and has returned to Sagamore every summer for the plein air workshops, enjoying the instruction, the camaraderie and the peace and beauty of this special place.
Shelby Harrison is a recently retired government administrator from the Albany, NY area. “I have attended the Plein Air painting program at beautiful Great Camp Sagamore for three years. Each year, I’ve tried to include the iconic red Adirondack chairs in my paintings with disastrous results, until this year! I hope you enjoy this chair painted from the porch on Main Lodge. I’m looking forward to painting another one on the porch next year when the restoration is complete!”
Dr. Gretchel Hathaway is a regular participant in Great Camp Sagamore’s Plein Air painting workshops. Away from Sagamore, she is Franklin & Marshall College’s first Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, providing vision, leadership and guidance on a full spectrum of diversity, equity and inclusion matters. Dr. Hathaway is a sociologist, having earned her PhD from University of Pittsburgh and a masters in psychology from Yeshiva University.

We cannot thank you enough for your support.
Our goal is to raise $82,000 by August 31 to finish the project by the end of the season.
The Porch is near completion and, with your help, our vision will become a reality.
During the final phase of this essential restoration project, the Porch will receive new cedar railings and stairs. Staircases that were once removed will be replaced.
