The Camp Bratton Green Alumni Association is an organization of members who love CBG and seek to fulfill our mission to enhance the CBG experience and provide support for its needs. We depend completely on the gracious charity of our members, and, over the years, we’ve done some amazing things together! In fact, the CBG Alumni Association has a proud legacy of supporting camp for over 20 years.
For example, last year the Alumni Association built a Gaga Pit (ask your kids and grandkids) which is the largest in the state of Mississippi! In addition, each year the Alumni Association identifies projects to enhance CBG and rallies volunteers at our Work Weekends. Past projects have included: replacing wooden benches at the outdoor chapel and elsewhere, creating a beginner’s disc golf course near the Arts N’ Crafts shack, and stripping and waxing tile floors.
This year, we are excited to share the completion of our Annual Project to upgrade the lighting at Camp Bratton Green! Our original plan was to upgrade the lighting in the Chapel of the Holy Family to more energy efficient LED lighting. Thanks be to God we were able not only to upgrade the lighting in the Chapel but also the exterior lighting surrounding all central buildings on campus because of a gracious offer from Entergy power to cover most of the expense. So, if you are fortunate enough to spend an evening at CBG this summer, you’ll be sure to notice brightness of CBG campus which could only be exceeded by the brightness of a camper’s smile!
In addition, we were also able to support the directors of each CBG camp session this summer by offering 1k toward their supply budgets. This will help the directors get the supplies they need to have as much fun as possible each day at camp! Finally, we recently also extended an Amazon Wish List to the Permanent Staff to boost their budget for activities as well!
We’d like to give a HUGE thank you to all our members whose donations have made this all possible. Because of your continued generosity, the CBG Alumni Association is poised to continue its mission to enhance CBG well into the future. If you’d like to be a part of our efforts, you can find out more about us at cbgalumni.org.
Thanks and have a great summer out at CBG!
Rev. CJ Meaders
President, CBG Alumni Association
