Very sad day for our campers , this has been summer camp that they always look forward too , for carena and nick been 14years they have been going ❤️
Dear Friends and Supporters,
We are heartbroken to report we received word that our precious Camp Krem is no longer standing. As of yet, we do not have all the specific details. We are told there is not much left, but still await an official notice from Cal Fire telling us it is safe to return and assess the damage. This could take days or weeks. We suspect it will still feel surreal until we are able to see it with our own eyes.
This was difficult news to receive and even more difficult to share. We know there are so many people who, like us, have loved and cherished our beautiful property for decades. So many people have poured their heart and soul into making Camp Krem the wonderful place it was. Countless individuals who have given Camp Krem their blood, sweat and tears over the last 63 years. To all of you, thank you.
During this difficult time, we must remember that Camp Krem is not just the buildings that sat atop our beautiful mountain. It is so much more than that. Camp Krem is the spirit of Alex Krem Sr., of those who worked alongside of him and all those who have come after him. It is our philosophies, our community and our friendships.
We do not know exactly what the future holds for our program, it is too early to tell, but we know that we will move forward! For now, we are simply grateful that our people and animals are safe. We will share more with you as we are able.
Please feel free to share your memories of Camp with us, so that we can remember the many times of joy!
Once again, our deepest gratitude to all those on the frontlines fighting this fire and working hard to protect our communities.
We remain dedicated to our mission and pledged to continue as soon as safety allows! This is not goodbye!
Our warmest regards,
Christina, Layla, Alex, Rebekah, Emily, Kenny, Gail & Leon
