We are good stewards of all gifts given to the Hawkeye Area Council. Currently, we are finishing our annual campaign of raising our $376,000 goal to support our operations. Also, we have been able to secure $500,000 for camp improvement and additions over the first three quarters of 2011.

Volunteer Needs

Our outreach efforts in Iowa City and Cedar Rapids have grown to the point where we need a great, growth oriented steering committee. Please contact John Myers at our office.

Request for In-Kind Contributions

Our 2011 camping season was a success! We always have a need for program materials, shooting sports support, cleaning items and food support.
