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.

Ciaccia Family Leadership Center Furnishings

Through Linda Ciaccia and her family’s awesome generosity, we have nearly finished renovating the second floor of Bings Barn into a new Leadership Center. The Ciaccia Family Leadership Center, dedicated to Peter Ciaccia on the 20th anniversary of his passing, will be home to our LIT and CIT programs in the summer and will serve as a space for leadership programs year-round. While we have made great progress, we need your help to finish it. Please consider donating to help us fund comfortable chairs for our participants. To donate, click HERE
