In a recent discussion, Ron Kinscherf engaged with Keaton Bartz of Gardner Camp and Matt Bergman from State Street Bank to delve into the mission and impact of Gardner Camp. Established in 2012 as a not-for-profit private foundation, Gardner Camp owes its existence to the philanthropic spirit of the late John Willis “Jack” Gardner, II.
Spanning an impressive 540 acres along the picturesque Mississippi River, Gardner Camp serves as a sanctuary for various community programs and activities. Its expansive grounds provide a serene environment for youth, families, and organizations seeking to foster personal growth, teamwork, and resilience. The camp hosts a range of events, from educational workshops to recreational retreats, all aimed at promoting well-being and community engagement.
Both Bartz and Bergman emphasized the importance of such initiatives in today’s society, highlighting how Gardner Camp not only enriches the lives of its participants but also strengthens community bonds. As it continues to grow, Gardner Camp remains committed to its foundational values of service and generosity.
