Sandy Tattersall Fund ‒ $1,500,000 Goal
|
We believe Timanous has a profound ability to enrich the life of any camper; with our campership program, a broader community of boys has been able to gain from the camp experience. Most importantly, it allows for all boys to learn and grow amongst a more diverse camper body in our communal environment. We are committed to increasing the diversity our community and making the Timanous experience available to even more boys who would not otherwise be able to attend.
With his family’s blessing, the Sandy Tattersall Fund endowment for camperships has been named in Sandy’s memory. Sandy was a 52-year veteran of camp and a Timanous icon: an athlete and leader as a camper in the 1960s, a beloved member of the counseling staff in the 1970s and 1980s, and Program Director until his death in 2017. He was the ethical and spiritual voice of the Timanous spirit. We miss him deeply. |

The Timanous Fund ‒ $1,000,000 Goal
|
The Timanous Fund is designed to meet unexpected contingencies and enable Timanous to upgrade facilities as needed, including kitchen modernizing, barn improvements, new castles and septic systems, and expanded administrative offices and staff work areas. In addition, we need sufficient financial reserves to add and improve other campus facilities and employ staff as necessary to remain competitive in the market. In essence, The Timanous Fund will guarantee that the campus and infrastructure will continue to be maintained and improved into the future. Please consider making an unrestricted donation to The Timanous Fund. Future campers and counselors will thank you.
