Year End Appeal

November, 2025

As another impactful year at John J. Nerden RTC Camp comes to an end, we want to take a moment to sincerely thank you for your continued support. Your generosity has greatly affected our community, allowing us to keep our mission alive by providing recreational programs and leisure activities for children and adults with special needs.

This year, we experienced both challenges and successes. We successfully concluded our 60th summer camp season. We served over 100 campers in central Connecticut, offering seven weeks of swimming, arts and crafts, music, outdoor recreation, and special events for individuals with intellectual disabilities. These milestones highlight the positive impact of donations like yours.

Yet, the demand for our services continues to grow. Due to increased expenses, camp has faced many economic challenges, and we need to expand our support to ensure all individuals with intellectual disabilities can access the resources we offer. That is where you come in. This holiday season, we invite you to make a vital end-of-year contribution to the John J. Nerden RTC Camp. Your gift will directly help us expand our programs, hire skilled staff, and serve even more individuals with special needs.

As we look forward to beginning our 61st summer, would you consider donating $25, $50, $100, or any amount you choose? Contributions can be made easily online at CampNerden.com or by mailing a check payable to John J. Nerden RTC Camp, P.O. Box 2617, Meriden, CT 06450. Every dollar you give can make a lasting difference.

We are excited about the opportunities ahead and look forward to continuing this journey of positive impact with your support. Thank you for being an essential part of our mission. Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful and peaceful holiday season.

Warmly,

Laurie J Russell

President, Board of Directors
