The 14th Annual Turtle's Trail Foundation Women's Weekend is in the books as one of the most challenging and fun ever! Tropical storm Ophelia provided a spectacular sunset on Friday night followed by two days of torrential rain, wind, and cold.

Thanks to all participants who joined our virtual dinner party fundraiser! Camp Oneka’s Celebrity Chef Nancy Terwilliger guided us through a cook-along where we each prepared a favorite camp dinner in our own kitchens - cornflake chicken!
In these trying times it's always good to look on the bright side! We are sad to cancel one of our primary fundraisers - TTF Women's Weekend, but happy to host some other virtual events.
And the results are IN! This year's fundraiser was a competition among the various generations of camp alumni, friends, and family to see which generation could rally the most donors. We had tremendous participation and a very close competition! The Millennials put up a good fight, but the Baby Boomers won out in the end with a grand total of 29 donors! In total over $13,000 was raised! On behalf of those girls who will attend camp due to your generosity - Thank You!
