Welcome back, Amelia! Amelia will be joining us as the Head of Four Winds for a second time. You might know Amelia as the queen of Princess Pat; she is the keeper of the final mystery verses of the song (a lot happens between Pat and Jack). Right now, she is studying Political Science at the University of San Diego, with a minor in visual arts. She just had a semester abroad in Italy as well (ciao)! Despite her Californication, Amelia is a Montana girl at heart, so catch her in a cowboy hat. Q: How do you like your s'mores? A: "Some may say it’s weird, but I like to roast my marshmallow till they are golden and then pull off the outer shell, then I simply repeat until there is no more marshmallow left ( and I eat the chocolate in between each layer)."

Thank you. Over the last few days, you've raised over $85,000 for Financial Aid, exceeding our $60,000 goal, and more than doubling our match. If you've been part of May Match, thank you. If you're still considering a gift, these final hours remain an opportunity to join this effort. This response honors why Ruth Brown created Four Winds' first financial aid fund in 1968: community and a life of adventure shouldn't depend on financial means. Your support keeps this vision alive, ensuring camp welcomes children from all backgrounds, each bringing their own gifts to our community. Thank you to everyone who has given, shared, and supported this fundraiser. The fundraiser ends at midnight tonight. Full results in the coming weeks as we confirm the tallies.
