SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO WASHTENAW CAMP PLACEMENT
FROM MICHIGAN’S 101st
 LEGISLATURE

April 24, 2022

LET IT BE KNOWN, That it is with great pride that we join with board members, volunteers, and the community partners of Washtenaw Camp Placement to celebrate sixty years of continued support to help the youth in our community grow and flourish. Washtenaw Camp Placement has consistently demonstrated a commitment towards volunteer work and influencing growth and development in our community’s youth.

Since its founding in 1962, Washtenaw Camp Placement has awarded over 10,000 camperships to youth residents of Washtenaw County. Campers are offered life changing experiences through numerous positive developmental activities offered by Washtenaw Camp Placement’s summer camp partners and are provided with the opportunity to advance in a multitude of skills while gaining self-confidence to help them succeed in their future endeavors. Through community support and the good faith of its volunteers, these opportunities have successfully enhanced the social, emotional, and physical development of countless community youth.

For 60 years Washtenaw Camp Placement has played a valuable role in shaping the lives of our community’s youth and has made an immeasurable impact upon those who have attended a summer camp or seen their work firsthand. As they gather to celebrate this notable anniversary, may we commend the people of Washtenaw Camp Placement for their work upholding the organization’s core values and continuing to impact the lives of younger generations to come.

IN SPECIAL TRIBUTE, Therefore, this document is signed and dedicated to congratulate Washtenaw Camp Placement in honor of its 60th anniversary. May they continue to serve the Washtenaw County community and make a difference in the lives of children by providing them with the tools for growth and success.
