The Winding Trail

Welcome to the very first online TTF Newsletter! Your connection to all TTF news, camp fun and items of interest. We hope you enjoy!

COVID -19 and Camp Update: As most of you probably know, the COVID-19 pandemic has unfortunately affected summer camps across the country. In Pennsylvania, most sleep-away camps including Oneka will not be opening for the summer of 2020. TTF will continue our mission throughout the year in order to provide as many camperships as possible to our prospective and legacy campers for the summer of 2021. Thank you very much for all of your support and concern during this time. The Turtle's Trail will Wind On!

Save the Date! Women's Weekend 9/11/20 to 9/13/20

Right Now, It's a "Maybe" We are really hoping to be able to hold a traditional Women's Weekend this year. However, we are currently in a holding pattern as to how this might be accomplished. In the meantime, our board members are already brainstorming some great alternative ways to keep the 2020 Women's Weekend dynamic, whether held traditionally or not. We will keep you posted on the status, but in the meantime please ... SAVE THE DATE!

Our TTF community can make a difference today and into our future, continue to show compassion to others, embrace diversity, and extend kindness and empathy. Small acts of caring and thoughtfulness will make a vast impact.  "We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color." - Maya Angelou
