"That such a camp has been provided, and so high a standard of purpose and practice in its conduct established and maintained, must be cause for deep gratitude, on the part of all...who have shared or shall come to know its joys and benefits, and on the part of all...who have contributed to the making of Camp Tuscazoar and its traditions."

Loren E. Souers -from the Preface to Tuscazoar and Tales of the Tuscarawas

A General Endowment Fund has been established by the Camp Tuscazoar Foundation, Inc. to guarantee income in the future for maintenance, rehabilitation and reconstruction projects at Camp Tuscazoar. Known as the Camp Tuscazoar Endowment Fund, this special trust will be administered by Keybank in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations under the guidance of the duly elected Board of Trustees of the Camp Tuscazoar Foundation. The fund's primary goal is to meet the increasing costs of maintaining and operating Camp Tuscazoar. Only the interest income, not the principle, will be used. Through this special trust, Foundation members and friends can make lasting contributions which will benefit Camp Tuscazoar for generations. Contributions may be wholly or partly tax deductible.
