Happy Giving Tuesday Huawni Tribe!

Giving Tuesday: Help Perpetuate the Huawni Legacy

Giving Tuesday is one of our favorite days of the year! A day when communities rally together to support missions that matter. At Camp Huawni, our mission has always been simple: create a place where kids can unplug, be themselves, and experience the magic of belonging in the Piney Woods of East Texas. This year, we’re inviting our Huawni alumni, parents, staff, and friends to join in supporting the Earl and Retha Adams Foundation, the heart behind many of the opportunities we’re able to provide to campers each summer.

Why the Earl & Retha Adams Foundation Matters

Long before Camp Huawni grew into the tribe it is today, Earl and Retha Adams had a dream to create a place where children could be a kid and truly be themselves. Where children could build lifelong friendships and grow in joy and confidence. The Foundation continues their legacy by ensuring that camp remains a haven and opportunity for growth for generations to come.

When you give to the Earl and Retha Adams Foundation, you’re supporting:

Camperships & Financial Assistance – Allowing more kids to experience Huawni who otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend. Program Enhancements – Ensuring we preserve the unplugged, nature-centered traditions that make Camp Huawni timeless. Long-Term Growth & Sustainability – Investing in the spaces, staff, and resources that keep Huawni a place where kids thrive year after year.

The Impact of Your Giving

Every gift, big or small, makes an impact. Your generosity helps first-time campers get to experience the Huawni magic and supports families financially in getting their campers to the Piney Woods. Your gift allows Huawni to maintain the safe and intentional environment that allows kids to discover their truest selves and keeps the Huawni magic alive for generations to come! When you give, you’re not just donating. You’re planting seeds that will grow into memories, friendships, and personal growth that lasts a lifetime!
