Help Dmytro Come to Camp! 

It is our mission to share God’s love through camp at Casowasco with as many campers as possible. We also recognize that camp is expensive and is sometimes beyond a family’s budget. Often, children whose families cannot afford camp are those who need camp the most. Camperships (Scholarships for Camp) are a way to help get these children to camp. During our work day last Saturday, a refugee from Ukraine, Dymtro, fell in love with Casowasco. His family cannot afford to send him to camp. You can read Dmytro’s story here. If you are able, donating to our campership fund helps kids like Dmytro experience God’s love at Casowasco. The true cost of a week of camp is $795. Please consider a donation to the campership fund to help us make camp accessible to as many children as possible.


Open Houses

Come spend the day at camp:

  • May 25th: Chicken BBQ and Open House
    • Stop by for lunch and check out the site! Chicken BBQ is $15 and proceeds go to supporting the mission of camp!
  • June 22nd: Rookie Camper Day
    • This Open House is open to all and we especially want to welcome first time campers and families considering sending a child to camp. This Open House will provide the opportunity to meet the staff, tour the site, and see what Casowasco has to offer.

We are still looking for people to be counselors (18+), lifeguards (17+ and willing to get certified), and a Waterfront Coordinator (21+). If you or someone you know is looking for the summer job of a lifetime, fill out the Summer Staff Application.


Alumni Homecoming Weekend

May 24-26

Are you an Alumni of Casowasco? Whether you were a camper, a staff member, a retreat guest, or someone who has been touched by the ministry of Casowasco, it is our pleasure to invite you to the Alumni Homecoming Weekend! We will be taking time to reconnect over work projects as we prepare Casowasco for a summer of life transforming ministry and sharing the site with new families during our Family Fun Day on May 25th. We welcome anyone who would like to join us to stay the weekend in a cozy bed, spend time in fellowship over meals in Emmaus Commons, and enjoy a delicious chicken BBQ sponsored by the wonderful people at Marcellus UMC and Casowasco’s Food Service Manager, Laura.
