Scott Ralls Fund
The Scott Ralls Fund
The Scott Ralls Fund was established to honor the memory of Scott Ralls, past President and longtime volunteer of the American Camp Association, New York and New Jersey. Scott was a passionate advocate for the camp industry and worked tirelessly to ensure that all camps had the resources they needed to succeed.
The fund provides capital improvement support to nonprofit camps that are accredited by the American Camp Association, New York and New Jersey. Since its inception, the Scott Ralls Fund has distributed more than $372,000 to nonprofit accredited camps across the region to help them enhance the camp experience for generations to come.

Your gift directly supports nonprofit, accredited camps in New York and New Jersey, giving them the resources they need to build safer, more welcoming spaces for every camper. Whether it’s an accessible path, air conditioning for a sensory-friendly space, or a new roof on a beloved bunk, your generosity helps make it all possible.
