More than $400,000 since 2020 has been given to be put to immediate, highest priority need use for program and capital needs at Canyon Camp. These efforts come alongside the many decades of service by organizations like the Monroe Kiwanis Club as well as the hundreds of individuals who have engaged philanthropically since origin of camp. The Camp itself was created through the founding gift from the Koenig family of Freeport. Philanthropy and the spirit of giving have been at the heart of Canyon Camp since its founding
