One of the most important ways you can celebrate with us is to make a gift to Havaya’s Fund for the Future. Any gift — big or small — is an investment in giving more kids the opportunity to experience transformative summers at Havaya year after year. Help us reach our goal of $180,000 and, together, we can ensure the next 20 years of life-shaping and community-building summer magic.
We picked out some highlights from the last 20+ years and we want to hear your stories, too! If you’re a former camper or staff member and you haven’t yet filled out our Alumni Database, please take a few minutes to share your memories with us.
