Camp Eastman Pool Renovation
Help ensure a vital element of Camp Eastman is functional for Scouts for summers to come.

While CEDA is proud to operate this campaign, many of the key volunteers in this project are not board members. Several groups are working in tandem to make it all happen.

*Mike Kelly was diagnosed with brain cancer in November 2022 and sadly passed away on July 24th, 2023.
In the six short months prior to his diagnosis, Mike's expertise was crucial to the success of creating a full project plan. We are grateful to have spent that time with Mike, and he will certainly be missed by many.
