Listed on this page you'll find some of the greatest needs of Camp Hammer this year. While support towards any of these projects is greatly appreciated, we hope that you would consider putting resources towards Roof Projects, Deck Projects and Scholarships. These three areas are far and away the greatest needs of Camp by summer of 2010 and the success of these projects will directly affect how many campers come to camp as well as their safety during their stay.
