It’s been a tremendous year for the EBA!
Among other accomplishments, we completed the new Emerald Bay Alumni Campfire Circle and had a record turnout at the Summer Reunion. We’ve also been working on some exciting changes for next year, and want to share a few of them with you:
The EBA Endowment
You should have received a letter in the mail recently announcing the creation of the EBA Endowment. We’re tremendously excited about this new endeavor, and hope you are too! Our initial goal is to receive donations from 500 individuals over the next two years. We’re well on our way, and if you haven’t contributed yet, please do so today! Visit
www.emeraldbayalumni.org/endowment to learn more and to donate.
Membership Categories
The EBA’s membership is comprised of current and former staff--along with everyone who is a friend of the camp in any capacity. But we’re not just a bunch of stodgy old geezers! We are reaching out to our younger members, and we’ve created some new membership categories. From now on, we’ll be making our events more accessible to our younger members by implementing tiered pricing, along with other activities and events specifically focused on each of our membership groups:
Current Staff - If you are currently employed by Camp, or were employed during the most recent season, then you’re Current Staff! This includes Program Staff, Business Staff, Camp Management, Marine Center Staff, SCUBA Staff, Kitchen Crew, and anyone else that has worked for the camp during the most recent season. Your service to Camp is incredibly important, and we’d love for you to join our seasonal events, such as the Fall BBQ, for FREE!
Young Alumni - If you’re associated with Camp and under the age of 25, you’re Young Alumni! We know that you might not be raking in the big bucks just yet, but we do recognize your tremendous ability and zeal to support Emerald Bay in other ways! Young Alumni will be invited to our seasonal events such as the Summer Reunion and Fall BBQ at a deeply discounted rate.
General Members - What’s that? You’re over 25? Congratulations! Thank you for your continued support!
Supporting Membership Program
Through the amazing outpouring of support from our members, our organization has grown substantially in the recent years. As a result, it’s time we developed formal Donor Recognition Levels for the following annual donations:
Doctor’s Cove ($100-$499)


(Young Alumni are eligible for Doctor’s Cove recognition with a $25 donation.)
Arrow Point ($500-$999)
Silver Peak ($1,000-$4 ...
