The Campaign for Onaway went over its goal on December 10, 2022, thanks to your wonderful generosity!
Click here to watch a video of the completed projects!
WIDE AWAKE was our ambitious $4.25 million community-wide effort to move camp forward by revitalizing her aging infrastructure and increasing her endowment to better fulfill her mission of providing the best possible Onaway experience to girls and young women.
You took WIDE AWAKE over its goal by giving over $4.38 million!!
We can't thank you enough for your amazing support!
In our technology-free environment of simple living surrounded by nature, Onaway’s activities, traditions, rituals, and duties provide relief from over-busy lives and awaken the mind and spirit, just as Mabel Hollister envisioned when she founded Onaway in 1911.
We invite you to help move Onaway forward and make her even stronger for the girls and young women who need her.
Please consider jumping in with your best gift!
Thank you for your generosity!
