At a Glance

The Wes and Edie Darling Fund was established to support the continuing ministry of Camp Wanakee.  Wes and Edie Darling served as camp administrators from 1968 to 1977. Wanakee is a Christian summer camp and retreat center located in central New Hampshire. We provide seven weeks of summer camp programming for children, youth, and adults, as well as events year-round. Wanakee’s focus is on building and nurturing strong communities of radical acceptance, where campers of all ages can grow personally, socially, and spiritually.

How We Helped

“We had been trying to discern. what might be the best use of our church property for the community and the continued viability of the church. I think the process of going to the community and listening. was very valuable. It helped us identify need areas we had not considered. I think I can say we feel we are ready to move past discussions.”
