Volunteer Appreciation Banquet
Gala/Party for Minnesota National Guard Youth Camp IncApr 29, 2023 from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Every summer we have a special group of people volunteer their time and talents to make a difference in a child’s life at the Minnesota National Guard Youth Camp. All volunteers are active or retired members of the Army or Air National Guard, and their family members. This camp takes place just outside of Little Falls, Minnesota at the Camp Ripley military base and was created for the dependents of Minnesota National Guard members.
During camp, kids are able to explore Camp Ripley and experience the military base their relatives go to for training. They gain an understanding as to why family member(s) serve in the National Guard and how to cope with the stress and confusion of separation/ deployments. Camp also promotes respect, friendship, leadership, team building, self-confidence and community involvement and teaches about preserving their environment for future generations.
The Minnesota National Guard Youth Camp is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is ACA accredited and 100% volunteer based. Our next event is a volunteer appreciation banquet. Without our volunteers, camp would not happen. We are hosting the volunteers on April 29, 2023 for food, games and prizes as a way to give thanks to their contributions to camp. Please let me know if your company would be interested in donating any items for the event.
We appreciate your consideration and support of the MN National Guard Youth/Teen Camp!
