Since 2002, Bournelyf Special Camp's pool has been a central part of our summer program - offering fun, connection, and skill - building for campers of all ages and abilities. Used up to four hours a day, five days a week, it supports daily recreation, swim instruction, our popular swim camp, and family events like tailgates.  

​

However, the pool has reached the end of its lifespan and needs critical updates to remain safe and functional. Key issues include:

​​

•  Outdated Infrastructure: The pool and pool house no longer meet current ADA standards and are only compliant due to grandfathering. Renovations will ensure full accessibility for all campers.

• Environmental Concerns: Inefficient systems result in excessive water and electricity usage. Upgrading the plumbing and filtration will make the pool more environmentally friendly and cost-effective.

​

We are jumping in, head first, on a campaign to raise approximately $1.3 million to fund necessary renovations to our pool. Over half of this amount is already committed - but we need your help to raise the second half and get to our goal. This investment will cover ADA- compliant upgrades to the pool and pool house; modern, energy-efficient plumbing and filtration systems; and repairs/updates to address structural and functional issues.
