Broken Wheel Campground Helps Camp Good Days
Over the past seven years, Campground Owners of New York (CONY) and their campgrounds and campers have donated a total of $572,032 to Camp Good Days. This includes the $3,100 contributed in 2018 by Ruth Seel and her campers at Broken Wheel Campground in Petersburgh.
Camp Good Days, marking its 40th anniversary in 2019, is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for children, adults, and families whose lives have been touched by cancer, sickle cell anemia, and other life challenges. These programs include camping retreats at their facility on Keuka Lake in the Finger Lakes. All programs are offered free of charge for the participants. More information is available at www.campgooddays.org.
Since its inception, Camp Good Days has served more than 48,300 campers from all around the world.
Broken Wheel Campground has been an enthusiastic contributor for all seven years of CONY’s fundraising campaigns. This past year, the park’s seasonal campers held a 50/50 raffle most weekends. The park also held a basket raffle, a corn hole tournament, and an ice cream social, and collected cans and bottles to raise $3,100.
According to park owner Ruth Seel, “We have a very giving community of campers who care about others.” The park has also raised donations for Petersburgh’s fire department, ambulance corps, and library, as well as hurricane relief in Texas and Florida, the American Cancer Society, American Lung Association, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, and veterans’ groups.
