Camp Millhouse Golf Outing
On Friday, May 21, 2021 we gathered with friends at Blackthorn Golf Course in South Bend, IN for our Fifth Annual St.Clair Apparel Golf Outing benefitting Camp Millhouse. The weather was beautiful and everyone had a great time, despite the pandemic! We hope you'll join us next year for the 6th Annual St.Clair Apparel Golf Outing benefitting Camp Millhouse which will be held in May 20, 2022 at Blackthorn Golf Course.
A big thank you to our main sponsor St.Clair Apparel and especially to Matt St.Clair for all the hard work that went into planning this incredible event for Camp Millhouse.
We want to pay special mention to our sponsors for this event:

Going into summer 2021, we had prepared to run camp safely with Covid still hanging over our heads. Now that it is obvious we will be dealing with Covid in one way or another for some time to come, we sought out a grant to help us cover the costs of installing all new automatic paper towel dispensers, soap dispensers and hand santizier dispensers. Not only will these be easier for campers and staff alike but they eliminate a lot of touch points that will help us in our quest to keep everyone healthy. In addition, we were able to order step-on 50 gallon trash cans so nobody has to touch the lid to open it and new large antibacterial wipes that will be used in every cabin and program area to keep camp extra clean. Thank you to everyone at The Pokagon Fund who helped make this possible.
The AWS Foundation in Fort Wayne, IN awarded Camp Millhouse a grant to fund the ropes course trail paving, make improvements to a couple course elements, cover the cost of inspection and staff training for the course for 2018 and purchase a "sway fun glider" to be placed in the playground. In addition to this grant, we also received a Mighty Money grant thanks to an IUSB student who also happens to be a Camp Millhouse staff member, Elijah Breden. Eli completed the grant process as a class project and was awarded his grant to help fund program supplies like basketballs, canvases, pony beads, and fabric dye.
In 2021, AWS Foundation awarded a three year grant to help Camp Millhouse realize a dream of having a third full-time, year-round assistant camp director. This grant will help cover part of the salary and health insurance for this position for fall 2021 thru fall 2024 when camp will resume the full cost.

The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation awarded a grant to cover the cost of a pool lift! The pool lift was installed in August 2018 and will be a huge help in getting individuals in and out of our large, heated pool. We were so excited for this addition to our aquatics program.
In 2021, the Foundation awarded Camp Millhouse a grant to cover the cost of 14 ADA compliant picnic tables. We can't wait to have campers in-person again to get to put these tables to great use!
