Thank you for helping provide gear to CPI campers in need
Here at Pathfinder, we know a good canoe trip is that much better when you have the right gear. There are a lot of us out there with some great gear piling up in the closet or garage. Providing help to campers who don't have this gear can make all the difference between a good summer and a great one.
Your generous gift to Gear Drive helps ensure a comfortable, safe canoe trip for all campers, no matter their financial means. Scholarship campers and school students will receive needed gear on arrival at camp. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

A list of items can be found up top. We are looking for gear and clothing that is gently used. We have campers of all shapes and sizes, and in the fall and spring, we have boys and girls visiting the island. So, any size, shape, and color is welcome. The basic rule of thumb here with these donations is: If you wouldn't wear or trust it, neither will we. Whether you have grown out of the old stuff or have just got some new gifts to replace the old, take a look in your closets and basements for something to donate.
