Youth/Summer Camp

We raise money to support youth activities in New Lebanon, including assisting qualified families with children who want to attend the 8-week summer youth program at Shatford Park. Applicants must prove financial need by showing proof that they receive SNAP benefits. Depending upon money raised, the LVCC will support all or part of each applicant’s camp fees and other youth projects as they become available.

Inclusive Playground

Help us raise money for an inclusive playground at Shatford Park that will welcome all residents and their caretakers to the park. More than just ADA compliant, an inclusive playground welcomes children of all abilities to learn and play together. At present, there is no inclusive playground in all of Columbia County and many of our surrounding towns.
