The Rockfall Foundation Awards $3,500 Grant to Support Bushy Hill Camperships

Deep River, CT — Incarnation Center is proud to announce it has received a $3,500 grant from The Rockfall Foundation to support camperships at Bushy Hill Day Camp, a nature-based summer program serving children from communities across the Connecticut River Valley.

The grant will help provide tuition assistance to local families, making it possible for more children to experience outdoor learning, play, and exploration at Bushy Hill. Campers spend their days immersed in over 700 acres of forests, wetlands, lakefront, and farmland—engaging in environmental education and building connections with nature, mentors, and each other.

“The Rockfall Foundation’s support helps make Bushy Hill accessible to families who may not otherwise have the opportunity,” said Emily Nelson, Director of Bushy Hill. “We’re incredibly grateful for their continued investment in our mission and in the children we serve.”

Bushy Hill Day Camp is a program of Incarnation Center, a nonprofit organization that has been welcoming children and families since 1886. The Rockfall Foundation has been a longtime partner in helping make the campership program possible.

Funding for Bushy Hill Camperships was provided by The Rockfall Foundation.
