Camp Jotoni’s 50th Anniversary Event is this August!

We’re excited to announce that this summer marks Camp Jotoni’s 50th Anniversary! To celebrate this milestone, we will be hosting a special anniversary event on Saturday, August 22! We are planning a day filled with fun activities, raffles and auctions, and lots of opportunities to reflect on some of Camp Jotoni’s most memorable moments.

There are still many ways to get involved, including connecting us with potential donors or vendors, contributing tricky tray or raffle items, sharing camper photos, or helping with planning and promotion. More details about the event will be shared soon as we prepare for this special milestone.

Support us with our new Amazon Wishlist!

We’re also excited to share the Camp Jotoni Amazon Wish List as a simple way to support our campers and programs. Items purchased help provide supplies, activities, games, arts and crafts materials, and everyday essentials that enhance the camp experience. Every contribution, big or small, helps create memorable summers filled with fun, friendship, and inclusion. Thank you for supporting Camp Jotoni and the incredible campers we serve.

Please note: As this is our first time using an Amazon Wishlist, we are still working through a few logistics and may not always be able to see who sent purchased items. We are incredibly grateful for every donation and would love the opportunity to personally thank our supporters. If you make a purchase, please consider leaving your name attached to the order or reaching out directly so we can express our appreciation.
