What is the “Girls of Onaway” charity?
Proceeds from the annual Camp Fair and the weekly chapel collections are deposited into a special account called “Girls of Onaway”. At the end of the summer the campers vote on how the money is to be spent. The money often goes towards Onaway scholarships, the Circle Program, local environmental agencies and other local charities. They also support the Wamba Hospital in Kenya and specifically one of its patients, Lucy. The girls’ role in allocating the money teaches them a great deal about the need for philanthropy and their ability to make a difference.
