 CHALLENGES IN THE NATION CABIN CAMPAIGN

“We Have Challenges in the Nation…”

Congratulations to the Muskogee Tribe for winning the tribal shield!

Thanks to the support of many counselors, we have already raised over $486,000!

For more than 50 years, these words have excited 4-Hers at Rock Eagle and encouraged them to apply their very best.

The great tribes of the Rock Eagle Nation have experienced “heap many contests, heap much fellowship, and heap many wonderful memories.”  These experiences would not have been possible without the vision of those that created the Rock Eagle 4-H Center, “our dream come true.”  Now we, as former counselors, again have a great challenge to meet the needs of the Rock Eagle Nation. 

The Need: Cabin Replacement At the time of construction in 1955, the Rock Eagle 4-H Center cabins were “state of the art.”  Over fifty years of use finds us with the need to completely replace all the cabins at a cost of $500,000 each.  (See explanation about these highly adaptable and improved facilities.)  The Georgia 4-H Foundation’s campaign to replace all of the Rock Eagle cabins will total $27 million.

We will seek financial support from a multitude of private and public sources for this effort.  And most importantly, we ask you as a former counselor to take a leadership role in raising the initial funds. Our goal is to build four cabins from collective support provided by former Rock Eagle Counselors.  A cabin will be located in each of the tribal lands, and a Himbolian/Tribal Council cabin will be built adjacent to Founders Lodge.

How To Take Part Although the matching phase of the campaign is now over, funds are still needed to reach our goal and build new cabins. You can still make a gift. Consider making a larger gift by extending your pledge over a three year period.  For example, a gift of $1,000 is only $27.77 a month – payable through automatic credit card or bank draft.

The Time is Now The time is now for you to pledge your support to future generations of Rock Eagle campers. Our summers at Rock Eagle significantly transformed and influenced our lives.  It’s now our turn to provide that life-changing opportunity for those that follow over the next 50 years.  Thank you for ensuring that Rock Eagle’s legacy of camping and youth leadership development continues, with your personal gift.
