THE HERB BRODA ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION FUND:
GOAL:  $150,000

The Herb Broda Environmental Education Fund has been generously kickstarted with a $50,000 gift, marking a significant step in advancing environmental education across Ohio.

This gift is a matching grant where every $2 contributed to the fund will be matched by a $1.

This fund is a tribute to Herb Broda's enduring legacy, focusing on the development of future environmental educators and the cultivation of environmental education within communities. It supports professional development for educators through specialized graduate-level classes and offers essential internship opportunities for college and graduate students in outdoor education. By prioritizing experiential learning and community engagement, especially in disadvantaged areas and Title I schools, the fund aims to elevate environmental education in Ohio. Through this initiative, Nuhop is committed to nurturing a new generation of educators and students who are passionate about and skilled in preserving and understanding our natural world.
 

THE HEMLOCK CAMPUS LAND AND POOL ACQUISITION FUND:
GOAL: $200,000

The Norma Foundation's commitment to match funds for Nuhop's acquisition of the Ohio Dreams property adjacent to its Hemlock campus serves as a pivotal catalyst in expanding Nuhop's capabilities to impact the lives of youth. This strategic funding initiative will enable Nuhop to acquire 16 acres of land, including a pool and two buildings – a pool house and a maintenance barn. The significance of this acquisition lies not just in expanding Nuhop's physical footprint but also in enhancing its programmatic offerings.

One of the most notable impacts of this acquisition is the opportunity for Nuhop to revive the tradition of providing swimming lessons to its summer campers. This activity was once a part of its offerings when it had access to the pool at Mohican State Lodge. The availability of an on-site pool will not only facilitate these swimming lessons but also enrich the overall camp experience with additional water-based recreational activities. This aligns seamlessly with Nuhop's mission of creating a dynamic and nurturing learning environment, especially for youth with diverse needs such as ASD, ADHD, and other neurodiversities.

By securing these additional facilities, Nuhop can further its commitment to offering a wide range of outdoor and experiential learning opportunities. The pool and the additional space will likely serve as a hub for various educational and recreational activities, playing a crucial role in the physical, social, and emotional development of youth.  The total goal is $200,00 with a one-to-one match up to $75,000.  Meaning that the first $75,000 will create $150,000. The additional $50,000 will allow us to prepare the pool for operation.
 

THE HEARTBEAT OF CAMP DINING HALL RENOVATION FUND:
GOAL:  $76,000

The Pine Campus of Nuhop, initially acquired from Camp Wesley in 1998, has a rich history that began with its original construction in the 1950s. This campus has undergone various transformations over the years, notably in the early 2000s when Nuhop added significant enhancements. Now, more than twenty years later, the dining hall at the Pine Campus is in need of an update. The Ashland County Community Foundation (ACCF) has recognized this need and is playing a pivotal role in the latest renovation project. ACCF has committed to a one-to-one matching grant of up to $38,000, which will significantly aid Nuhop in achieving its renovation goals. This funding is particularly earmarked for replacing the flooring in the dining hall, as well as updating the tables and chairs, some of which are the original ones from the 1950s.

The dining hall is more than just a place for meals; it serves as the hub and heartbeat of the Pine Campus. It's a space where campers and staff gather, interact, and create lasting memories. The planned renovations, supported by ACCF's matching grant, will not only rejuvenate this vital space but also enhance the overall experience for everyone who comes to the Pine Campus. This update is essential in ensuring that the dining hall continues to serve as a welcoming and functional space for years to come.

The commitment from ACCF and the community's support in this project reflects a shared dedication to nurturing the development and well-being of the youth served by Nuhop. This renovation project, therefore, goes beyond mere physical improvements; it represents an investment in the future of the many young lives that Nuhop touches.
