The
Robert Perkins Campership |

Rob
spent nine years as a camper, counselor and program
director at Colvig Silver Camps. His time there
was incredibly significant to him and he had a significant
impact on many young people. After Rob tragically
died young in an accident, The Robert Perkins Fund
was established in his memory and the Fund has now
created the Robert Perkins Campership to make this
kind of meaningful camp experience accessible to
other youth in the hope that the memory of Rob's
character, dedication, friendship and love of the
mountains will live on in those that benefit from
this endowment.

The
John C. Lebor Memorial Campership |
| |
This
campership was funded by the Lebor Family Foundation
to honor John who went to Cheley Camps for several
years in the mid-50s as a camper and a counselor.
Camp provided him with a strong sense of perspective
and self-assurance. His love and respect for nature
never ceased and was passed on to his children and,
now, grandchildren as they attend camp. The Lebor
Family hopes to extend this legacy on to other,
less fortunate families. |

1940s Three generations of Tuohy descendants (Tuohy,
Fenton, and Kundtz families) have been blessed with
the opportunity to attend and work at Cheley; each
learning and growing for from the experience. The
Kundtz family is excited to provide this opportunity
of a lifetime to others. |
