Local Events for the Fort Future

Fort friends are gathering for special events in cities throughout the US in 2023 and 2024 where we’ll roll-out plans for the projects of the Fort Future campaign.  Fort staff will be representing camp at these gatherings hosted by local Fort champions. You know – Fort-style, interactive, good food, enriching and fun!  They are informal with time to hang-out, and yet not so long that you encroach on your babysitter’s plans.

Each event will have special features by virtue of the setting, collection of friends, sharing of Fort stories, season of the year and the food. For each, we will update, inspire, and challenge you to participate in fulfilling the vision of Fort.  Incredible projects are planned to replace aging and inadequate facilities and infrastructure, as well as some new program-based additions. The projects funded by this campaign will prepare Fort for decades of fruit-bearing impact on future generations.
