Friends of Cuscowilla works to provide subsidized camp experiences through Camperships that encourage the academic and physical health of our children. Facilities include swimming, archery, fishing, boating, hiking, arts and crafts, basketball, a climbing tower and ropes course, and court activities. Facilities are complemented with fun and nature focused educational programming.
In 2025, Friends of Cuscowilla sponsored 120 Camperships! Please consider helping us send even more kids to summer camp in 2026. Our emphasis is on providing an equitable opportunity for low income, diverse youth in Alachua County to attend camp.
Campership donations of $150 will send a child to day camp for a week.
Please consider making a donation that will enrich a child’s life.
Any amount is welcome.
