Dear Camp Good Days Friends,Camp Good Days and Special Times has completed its 38th year of providing programs and services free of charge to children and families touched by cancer.

I am very eager to begin our 39th summer, and hope you’ll consider making an impact at Camp Good Days this year. Whether it’s through volunteering your time, services, or making a donation, your generosity will allow our children and families to continue having good days and special times for years to come.

Thank you,

Gary MervisFounderCamp Good Days and Special Times, Inc.

About Camp Good Days And Special Times, Inc.The mission of Camp Good Days and Special Times is to be internationally recognized as the premier service organization that enriches the lives of children, adults and families whose lives have been touched by cancer and other life challenges.

In 1979, Elizabeth “Teddi” Mervis was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor at the age of nine. Her father, Gary Mervis, traveled across the country to major medical centers seeking the best possible treatment for his daughter. He returned home without the answers he had been looking for and realized that it was not the craniotomy, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy that was causing Teddi the most pain, but it was the loneliness of being the only child in her school and neighborhood dealing with cancer.

With the help and support of many friends and community members in Greater Rochester, New York, Gary founded Camp Good Days and Special Times, Inc., a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, to provide Teddi and other children with cancer the opportunity to come together in a residential camping experience, to be with the only ones who could truly understand what they were going through – other children with cancer. Camp Good Days was the fourth organization of its kind in the United States and the first to be started by a lay person.

Teddi Mervis lost her battle to cancer on February 27, 1982 at the age of 12, but her legacy and memory lives on through the work of Camp Good Days and Special Times.

Since its inception, Camp Good Days has served more than 47,800 campers from 22 states and 35 foreign countries. Camp Good Days maintains accreditation from the American Camp Association and has been inducted into the Safety 1st Hall of Fame by Markel Insurance Company. So as not to place any additional financial burden on the families served, all of the programs and services provided by Camp Good Days are offered free of charge for the participants. This is only possible because of the support and generosity of so many individuals, businesses, and organizations, and the success of special fundraising events held throughout the year.

All of the residential camping programs are held at Camp Good Days’ own, beautiful Recreational Facility, located on 13 ½ acres of waterfront property, on the shores of Keuka Lake, in the Village of Branchport, Yates County, New York. The Camp Good Days’ Recreational Facility includes a heated/air-conditioned dining hall; dormitories; six cabins; a fully equipped infirmary; in-ground pool; and many activity areas such as: arts & crafts; nature; woodworking; aquatics; fishing; and sports & games.

Camp Good Days is a CELEBRATION OF LIFE with those who have come to appreciate it the most… a place WHERE COURAGE KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES!

Programs and services provided free of charge for children, adults and families whose lives have been touched by cancer and other life-threatening challenges.
