Camp Carefree's construction has been a labor of love by volunteers from a broad area of the community, with much of the construction having been done by volunteer labor. Likewise, our summer program could never succeed without the love and devotion of our volunteer counselors and medical staff. Donations of money, furnishings, and building materials have been received from many areas of the state allowing us to be debt free, with all existing facilities completed and paid for. Individuals, civic groups, churches, businesses and foundations have all had a part in contributing to our remarkable success.

With our major construction complete and paid for, we are now able to concentrate our time and income on expanding and improving our program. As with all facilities, there will always be repairs, additions and replacements to make, and as our program expands our costs rise. With the great support we have had from the community thus far, we feel confident we will continue to have friends to keep us solvent.

Twenty-two acres of a 290 acre farm have been leased for $1 a year to Camp Carefree, for twenty-five years, with two options to renew. Other areas and facilities of the farm are available for use by the campers; these include a five acre lake for fishing and canoeing, horses and tack and areas for hiking. All new facilities have been constructed on the leased acreage.
