Save Camp Unleashed
To our beloved campers & staff
Erica, Eileen, Caitlin and I want to let you know how much Camp Unleashed means to us. We bought CU from Annie because as fellow campers, we viscerally understood how the unique Camp Unleashed experience can redefine, refresh and renew your relationship with your dog. We have experienced firsthand the magical moments that can happen at camp: a dog swimming for the first time or discovering a new sport your dog loves; the laughter, the adventure, the love.
The bond we have with our dogs is so integrated into our daily lives that we can take it for granted. But we know how a weekend at CU allows us to explore that bond, nurture it, and relish in it for one special weekend a year.
We knew the CU brand needed some TLC, so we went to work in 2019 refreshing Camp Unleashed, adding a new camp location and expanding our curriculum with the addition of Sea and Shore Camp. At our flagship camps in the Berkshires and Blue Ridge, we also added new staff and new activities to our diverse schedule of events. Our motivation has always been to help CU grow and give it the nurturing it deserves. We were looking forward to sharing the Camp Unleashed experience with a wider audience of dog owners in 2020.
But 2020 had other plans for everyone, presenting many formidable challenges for all of us, both personally and professionally. Like many other small businesses during this time, we must ask for the help of our devoted fans to keep CU alive.
Currently we face two imminent challenges:
—We want to be able to hold Georgia camp, but we understand that the safety of this is undetermined. If it is safe to host camp, enrollment may not be sufficient to support the full CU experience.
—We want to secure facilities for 2022 camps, but the financial burden of our growing company is has become too much without the support of full enrollment at all our camps.
How you can help:
—We are asking for donations of any amount to help us secure facilities for 2022. Donate Now.
—We are asking for transfer of any deposit amount from those who can, to help us secure 2021 facilities.
—We are asking for help promoting all camps for 2021 and 2022:
—Email our PDF Flyer to daycares, trainers, or veterinarians in your area. Print postcards to distribute locally.
—Share our posts to help us reach a wider audience, and post once a week something you love about CU, using #CampUnleashed.
We know how impactful a weekend at Camp Unleashed can be; it is too exceptional to let it come to an end. This is why we need your help.
In these difficult times we could all use a little more CU spirit right now, and so we are so thankful for any support you can offer. If you have a hidden talent we don’t know about that could help CU, we welcome all suggestions and ideas!
