Camp Puh’Tok & Our Community

F.O.P.

From it’s inception, Camp Puh’Tok has emphasized personal service; the importance of giving back to the community. When the camp cried out for help in maintaining its tradition and facilities, camp alumni heeded the call, the THE FRIENDS OF PUH’TOK was born. With over 30 years of service, the FOP continues to provide vital support to the camp in recognition of its contribution to campers lives.

The primary purpose of the Friends of Puh’Tok is to perpetuate interest in Camp Puh’Tok by providing services and resources. The FOP also encourages old and new friendships through a combination of services and social activities which benefit the camp.

For membership information, please email Bucky Jaecksch, FOP president, cjaecksch45@aol.com.
