Camp Albrecht Acres recently held its 17th Annual Awards and Recognition Banquet. At the event the board of directors honored everyone who has so generously given of their time and talents to the camp this season. “It is no secret that our camp relies on the generosity of so many” said Eric Veltstra, executive director “to provide a week of vacation to our campers and we are blessed to have this great group of people willing to volunteer and share their time and talent”.
Several Awards were presented to individuals who have stood out over the years and were nominated by peers and selected by the Board of Directors to receive their awards. |

John Deere not only sent a large group of their staff to volunteer for us during the Dubuque Days of Caring, but they also sent a generous donation for our campership financial aid! Thank you to our local Dubuque John Deere as well as the John Deere Charitable Giving program in general for their support of our campers! 
The American Legion Foundation awarded Camp Albrecht Acres a generous grant of $750 for our science programming needs. The Science and Nature Center at Camp has been recently re-painted and revitalized, so we are thrilled to add some new tools to our science programming!

Huge thank you shout-out to our donor from over 4,000 miles away: Chris Adams! Chris sponsored a full campership through our Support a Camper campaign. Because of Chris, one more camper with financial instability will be able to attend camp next year! We are grateful for all of our donors, near and far, and hope they know their generosity is much appreciated, and much needed! If you'd like to join Chris in donating to our Support A Camper campaign, you can find details on the campaign and the online donation system here. 
Thank you to the McDonough Family Foundation for their generous grant in the amount of $3,000 to assist in building event capacity for fundraisers, celebrations, and more at Camp Albrecht Acres! Building our event capacity will help us to purchase high-quality, reusable materials and keep fundraiser costs low so as to lower our budgets for events and spend more on direct programming for our campers.
