The RDC Forever Fund was created in response to an outpouring of support from our guests and a desire to help Rockywold Deephaven Camps weather the challenges of the 2020 closure. A community fund is not a new concept at RDC. In the early days of Deephaven, its founder Alice Mabel Bacon and her guests established a communal collection which she kept in a ginger jar and used to purchase supplies.
Contributions to the present day Forever Fund go towards preserving Camp and our cottages as well as projects that help continue RDC’s longtime traditions such as the annual ice harvest and calendar mailing. We are so grateful for these continued contributions from our guests and shareholders to help support RDC’s ongoing yearly operating expenses.
In exchange for your contribution to the RDC Forever Fund, we’d like to offer a unique gift in return that we hope reflects our deep gratitude.
Choose one of the below specially-designed tokens of our thanks:
Contributions of $50 and up
RDC Forever t-shirt
(youth & adult sizes available)
Contributions of $250 and up
RDC Forever routed cottage sign. The wood used for these signs came from trees that grew on camp property.

Commemorate a loved one! We have created an RDC Forever Friends recognition display in The Commons archive center, for your gifts of $1,000 or more. Please indicate the name of who you’d like the gift to honor or be in memory of, or if you’d like to be anonymous.
Please reach out to Claire Hekking at Claire@RDCsquam.com if you have any questions regarding these opportunities. Please note that contributions to RDC are not tax-deductible.
Thank you for your continued support, deep loyalty and love for RDC. Together, we’ll see that the Camp continues to offer families lifelong memories for generations to come.
