Thank you to all that helped rebuild Mitigwa Scout Reservation
On August 10, 2020 after completing a very successful summer camp during a time of shut down from the COVID 19 pandemic nature took its toll. With winds topping 140 miles an hour in the heart of the derecho, Camp Mitigwa sustained considerable damage to its buildings and natural landscape. With hours of labor and support from generous donors Mitigwa Scout Reservation returned in the summer of 2021 to celebrate its 100th summer of continuous summer camping.
A Glimps of the Damage
Mitigwa Scout Reservation’s buildings sustained considerable damage. This damage was fixed and camp was able to be held in the summer of 2021. The damage to trees is still felt. Downed trees are still be removed and new trees planted to help with recovery of the wooded areas of camp.
Thank you!
These generous donors gave at the Mitigwa Strong Life Scout ($600) level or higher to rebuild Mitigwa.
