Celebrate Me Week

At CMW, we love Christmas in July🎄✨ So what better way to count us down to Week 1 than with the 12 Days of CMW?!

On the 12th day of CMW, we’re celebrating 12 New Friendships! 💜

One of the best parts of camp is meeting people who quickly become friends, cheerleaders, and some of your favorite memories. In just 12 days, incoming 7th graders will come together to laugh, learn, grow, and discover they belong.

Who’s ready to make some new friends this summer? ☀️

Only 20 days until the first campers arrive at CMW 2026🎉

💎Who is ready for the best summer ever?

We were beyond honored to award our second Diamond Award to, none other than, Jeanie McCabe at this year’s Celebrate Me Week Gala!

If you know Jeanie, you know she truly embodies camp’s mission and values. So many of us are so lucky to be known and loved by self-proclaimed “Grandma Jeanie”!

Join us in congratulating Jeanie on this amazing honor!

Celebrate Me Week community - this past weekend we held our biannual CMW Gala at Sky One Eleven and we are feeling immense gratitude and joy. ✨

We got to celebrate years of servitude and support from our volunteers, sponsors, families, friends, and the community. It is because of this incredible support, we surpassed our fundraising goal for camper scholarships.

Thank you to all who had in a hand in supporting and making the evening happen! We are humbled as we enter into planning for the 2026 camp season with you support!

For all the campers we pray for, for the lives that have been changed, for all the ways CMW ripples beyond each week’s session - we thank you.
