"I obtained every tool for life that I could ever need during my 17 summers at camp. I refuse to let my differences be an excuse for not achieving success and I try to teach others the same principles. If everyone could experience just a little bit of Camp Twin Lakes, I know the world would be a better place."

- CTL camper alumnus

Summer is Here
And in full gear! 
 
Camp Twin Lakes is more than halfway through our summer season. We are wrapping up our sixth week of camp programs at CTL-Rutledge and CTL-Will-A-Way. We're also finishing our second of four consecutive weeks of camp sessions at Camp Dream at Roosevelt Warm Springs. It's a busy time, but better than ever!

Seeking Shopaholics 
Volunteer to support CTL's Partners Card

Our annual Partners Card shopping and dining discount program returns October 28-November 6.  We are seeking a few dedicated volunteers to serve as "retail liaisons."  Retail Liaisons act as neighborhood captains for retailers who honor the Partners Card discount- answering questions, educating about CTL and the Partners Card program, supplying additional materials.  We'll provide all the training you need, and you can set your own schedule!  It's a really easy way to make a difference.  If YOU would like to be a Camp Twin Lakes representative to a group of 10-12 stores near where you live or work, please contact Ali!
