Marjorie P. Brown Scholarship Fund

Gifts to the MPB Scholarship Fund support tuition assistance to make attending Brown Ledge Camp affordable for more families.

This fund was established to honor BLC’s first co-director, Marjorie Brown, who was involved in directing camp each summer from its inaugural season in 1927 until the early 1960s. Mrs. Brown knew firsthand the transformative power of camp and was a staunch believer in the lasting impact of giving back. Twylla Fishel, beloved counselor and longtime scholarship champion, once noted, “Mrs. Brown believed that campers who gave of themselves and participated fully in camp life would receive far more in return, and leave with a lifelong memory” (as quoted in the 1994 Alumnae Ledger).

Mr. Mac Annual Operations Fund

Gifts directed to the Mr. Mac Annual Operations Fund support general operations on-the-ground at camp. These gifts help ensure the quality and future of Brown Ledge Camp’s operation and programs.

William McAllister, known as Mr. Mac, was a presence at camp throughout the 1920s and 30s. In fact, although he was still a student at Norwich University, he served as both a riflery counselor and Head of Riding during that time. After many years away, he then returned to BLC each summer after his retirement in the early 1970s. Not only was Mr. Mac the Town Shopper, getting all the bits and bobs needed to keep camp running smoothly; he also had the distinction of being named the ‘President of the First National Bank of Skunk Junction.’ Mr. Mac died August, 1992.

Facilities Improvement Fund

With more than 70 buildings throughout camp grounds, plus the equipment needed to offer the great range of activities that are available at BLC, there are always improvements, repairs, and renovations needed.

Your gift to this fund will help keep the cabins sturdy and safe, the various buildings and structures around camp sound, and all the places where campers eat and play, ship-shape. Gifts will also help to ensure that the equipment campers use and learn on is ready for another season.
