Why the adironduck Race is important?

Its about 4 days since we hosted our annual fundraiser for summer camp. April 26th, 2015 had 1,800 guests and 125 volunteers working to create a unique opportunity for anyone who wanted to be here. 

The AdironDUCK Race is typically the last Sunday in April and has been going on for 21 years. We raise a good sum of money that all goes to keep the costs of summer camp low for everyone! This has been a major part of the event's mission since the beginning. 

But "The Why?" do we have the AdironDuck Race is bigger than the fundraising. 

Its about summer camp and Oswegatchie. Its about seeing old friends and your neighbors. Its about pancakes with real maple syrup. Its about stopping in town and having some ice cream and checking out the railroad museum. Its about adirondack storytellers and an amazing circus performer. Its about church on Sunday morning in Getman Lodge. Its about sunshine on your face and the laughing of your kids.

At the end of the day, its about a whole lot more than anyone place or anyone person!
