      Shelly joined us to discuss opportunities for us to partner with Camp Thorpe for an event. We discussed possibly something this Fall. Possibly a community dinner. Shelly will let us know what weekends might be open. We discussed doing it as a donation vs a set price and earmarking the proceeds for a specific project to benefit the camp. We discussed some history from the camp. 100th anniversary is coming up. Camp was originally a Polio camp. There are articles available on newspaper.com.

      Shelly mentioned that they will be doing a fundraiser Dirty Dancing themed weekend (August 23rd, 2025) where people can stay onsite. They will be hosting events similar to those from the movie (ie: dance lessons, lawn games, etc.) as well as hosting a screening of the film.
