The Charles M. Bayer Campership Program

Each year, Camp Stella Maris sends hundreds of kids to camp through the Charles M. Bayer Campership Program. The Campership Program provides need-based scholarships for resident, day, and family camp programs.  Campership awards are extended to families who otherwise might not have the opportunity to send their children to camp.  Our goal is to ensure that all children are able to experience the loving and magical environment of Camp Stella Maris. Camp Stella Maris awards more than $150,000 to campers-in-need annually.

Buy a Piece of the Big House

Bring a piece of the Big House into your house. We are selling the tables (now sold out) and benches from the old Big House. What a great conversation piece and a way to share CSM memories with friends and family.

All proceeds from the sale of the benches and tables will go towards renovating the Day Camp and Year-Round camp programming space in Peggy’s Basement.

ROC the Day is a 24-hour, online giving extravaganza powered by United Way of Greater Rochester and the Finger Lakes that takes place annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, also known as Giving Tuesday. This day allows people in our community to fill their “cart” with causes that matter most to them and support not-for-profit organizations making positive impacts in our communities. To donate to CSM go to ROCtheDay.org, a secure online giving platform. All money given during ROC the Day will help go to our Campership program and help send children to camp.
