Dibble talked about how camp spends more than $600,000 a year offering free and subsidized programs to children and families in need. He also talked about the camp’s year-round teen leaders club, its healthy food initiative, its partnering to fight the opioid crisis and its attempt to be more inclusive in all camp programming.
He and other camp staff member’s brainstormed ideas with the community leaders.
Dibble said that camp remains committed to being a relevant partner to the neighboring community.
The forum was held at the dining hall at Camp Matollionequay, the girl’s camp at Ockanickon.
