Make the outdoors an open door.
The experience of summer camp is life changing by nature. Through our donors’ philanthropy, the Chief and Calla Bell Scholarship Foundation helps children open the door to summer camp.
Our Mission
Continuing the legacy of Chief and Calla Bell by providing financial support, so children discover the richness of the outdoors, form enduring friendships, and develop confidence and maturity through the unique experience of summer camp.
Our Story
"The wilderness can be a magnificent playground and a great university. If education is a series of continuing experiences that build the knowledge, the skills, the habits, the appreciations, the attitudes, the values, and ultimately and hopefully the wisdom that enrich living, then we need to go far beyond the classroom."
- Frank "Chief" Bell, Sr.
