2012 Annual Report

2012 Annual Report
Greetings from the
Executive Director and Board President
In 2012, Camp Twin Lakes celebrated its 20th year of providing life-changing camp experiences to children and adults with
serious illnesses, disabilities, and other life challenges! Last year, we served more than 9,000 children with just over 3,500 campers
through week-long summer camps and 5,500 campers through year-round weekend retreats. Over the years, more than 50,000
campers have had a CTL camp experience that has helped them grow in their confidence, capabilities, and independence and
build life-long friendships with other campers who face similar challenges. Through all of our growth, Camp Twin Lakes is proud
to continue to subsidize 80% of the direct camp costs for every camper.
Here are some highlights from 2012!
20th Anniversary
Nearly 20 restaurants with more than 50 locations joined us in celebrating with a good old fashioned Food Fight.
They featured menu items in honor of Camp Twin Lakes and the community joined us in voting for their favorite dishes.
Learn more about our Food Fight on page 10.
We were recognized by local communities with wonderful stories about our 20 years of service. We are so appreciative of
the opportunity to share our stories with the community. See page 11 for some highlights of our anniversary media coverage.
Camp Programs
With the generous support of Neadwerx, Inc., our Camp-To-Go program (which takes imaginative daycamp programs into
children’s hospitals) more than doubled in 2012! We brought camp to children’s hospitals in Atlanta, Macon, Augusta, and,
for the first time, Savannah. Children undergoing treatment have the chance to participate in camp activities like fishing
(magnetic), archery (paint blow darts), arts and crafts, music, and fun!
We continued to build on the successful programs that we started for Wounded Warriors and their families at our newest
campsite in Warm Springs by doubling the number of families served from the previous year.
Our summer session camp programs were enhanced with our Discovery Program, which allows campers the opportunity to
immerse themselves in a specific program for the week and teaches them high-level tactical skills as well as life skills.
The Farm at CTL-Rutledge continues to be a favorite among campers! Not only are we growing our own vegetables, fruits,
eggs, and honey, but thanks to our partners in Morgan County, we are even raising our own cows!
Strategic Planning
Camp Twin Lakes just completed an extensive new strategic plan that we started in 2012. This plan will help guide
organizational growth over the next five years. We are grateful for the leadership of our Board Members, Camp Partners,
community volunteers, and staff members—their dedication and insight will be invaluable as we write the next chapter in
our book.
As we continue to grow our programs to serve more campers and new populations, one thing will remain the same—
Camp Twin Lakes will continue to provide a life-changing and transformative camp experience for thousands of children in
Georgia and across the southeast. Whether it’s a week-long camp, a weekend retreat, a Camp-To-Go program, or a daycamp, the
CTL experience will be of the highest quality and provide a safe, nurturing environment that fosters growth and independence.
That is our promise to our campers, their families, and our Camp Partners.

“In my years of attending
Camp Walk ’N Roll at
Camp Twin Lakes, I have seen
a side of humanity that most
people never have the pleasure
of encountering. More than 100
volunteers; including counselors,
doctors, and CTL staff; work
24/7 to make camp as safe,
enriching, and barrier-free as
possible. Like they say, it’s a
place ‘where young spirits soar.’”

Visionary Leadership
Camp Twin Lakes started as an idea—a place where children facing various challenges could
come and have a life-changing and transformative camp experience. Twenty years later, more
than 50,000 campers with serious illnesses, disabilities, and other life challenges have had a
Camp Twin Lakes camping experience. Behind this progressive organizational growth are business
and community leaders who volunteer their time to help lead Camp Twin Lakes’ efforts—the
Presidents of Camp Twin Lakes’ Board of Directors.
Doug Hertz, Founder and Chairman of Camp Twin Lakes, served as the first President of CTL’s
Melnick (l) and Hertz (r) with
campers in the summer of 1993
Board of Directors. As President of United Distributors, Inc. and with the support of a strong
Board, Hertz leveraged community support to complete and surpass a $3 million fundraising
campaign to establish Camp Twin Lakes in the early 1990s. Remarkably, that goal was exceeded by
$2 million. “Never underestimate the power of a good idea and the people who are committed to
it,” said Hertz.
Jay Smith, retired President of Cox Newspapers, Inc., served as the second President of the
CTL Board from 1999 to 2004. Under Smith’s leadership, partnerships were intentional, and
camp programs continued to be established. There was something new at camp each summer,
and each year, more children had the opportunity to experience camp. “Things we thought we
would never be able to do, we blew by them and accomplished more,” said Smith. “If you are
doing things that are truly virtuous, you will always succeed,” he concluded. And succeed we did.

Christopher Klaus at the
dedication of the Klaus Family
Welcome Center in 2005
As CTL’s third Board President from 2004 to 2008, Atlanta
Speech School’s Executive Director, Comer Yates’, term was
one of organizational change. During Comer’s term, CTL saw
the retirement of its first Executive Director, Larry Melnick.
Smith (l) and Board Member
Yates focused to prepare for organizational growth and helped
Jan Lupuloff (c) being presented
with gift from Robert Karem (r)
secure a new Executive Director who embraced the vision of
of UBS in 2004
expansion and growth—Eric M. Robbins. “The greatest gift we
can give a camper is the opportunity to discover his or her strengths and potential,” said Yates.
“My hope is that experience will be so transformative, they will return to give it to another
camper in some form. Developing servant leaders through the camp experience will change the
world,” Yates said.
As CTL progressed through the organizational transition,
we faced yet another challenge—CTL-Rutledge had reached
capacity through year-round programming. As CTL’s fourth
Board President from 2008 to 2011, renowned community volunteer, Bonnie Harris had the
challenge of expanding our campsite to CTL-Will-A-Way while simultaneously navigating CTL
through a powerful economic downturn. Under Harris’ leadership, CTL successfully completed
a $5.3 million capital campaign and increased camper capacity by more than 50%. “It is an art
and a delight to ensure everyone understands how their contribution matters. Camp Twin Lakes
has worked extremely hard to showcase the talents of the volunteers who serve on the Board
and Committees while nurturing staff growth and development,” said Harris.
Lawrence Kenny, Consultant with Russell Reynolds, serves as
Harris at Cocktails for Camp
in 2009
Camp Twin Lakes’ current President and wholeheartedly believes in the expansion CTL continues
to see. With the addition of a third campsite in 2011, CTL-Camp Dream, Camp Twin Lakes has
been able to further expand its summer session as well as develop camps to serve the Wounded
Warriors of the United States Military and their families. “Camp Twin Lakes is on a path to
continue to grow and serve a substantial number of children while continuing to have impact,”
said Kenny. “The capability of our staff is inspiring. They provide the dedication, quality care,
energy, and enthusiasm needed for a life-changing camp experience,” he stated.

Kenny (r) reports on the
state of camp at the 2012
Annual Meeting at
CTL-Will-A-Way
As we celebrate this 20th Anniversary, we salute the people who have helped us get there. As an
organization, we have been fortunate to be under the guidance of people not afraid to take action
and be bold. Our mission to help children grow in their confidence and capabilities exceeds
beyond the campers we serve. We have all grown and learned new things together, and we thank
the leaders who have guided us along the way.
Funding
Volunteers
Providing a high-quality and life-changing week or weekend
of camp for a child with extensive medical needs or other
life challenges is an expensive undertaking shared between
Camp Twin Lakes and its nearly 60 Camp Partners. Camp
Twin Lakes subsidizes 80% of the direct camp costs for every
camper served—the equivalent of $800 per camper for a
week of camp. Camp Partners cover the remaining camp costs
as well as additional costs related to staffing, transportation,
and the recruitment of campers. Since our founding, Camp
Twin Lakes has not increased the Camp Partner program fee.
We appreciate the generous support of our donors whose
investment provides a life-changing camp experience for more
than 9,000 campers each year. For a listing of our supporters
between October 1, 2011 and September 30, 2012 (including
events that took place during those dates), please see page 12.
CTL is grateful to the doctors, nurses, and other medical staff
who volunteer their time and expertise to ensure the highest
quality of medical care for our campers. We also appreciate
the more than 3,500 committed volunteers who provide
annual support for CTL’s camp programs and community
events.

Throughout the summer, we see children overcome their
fears to end up trail riding. For Alisha, her fear was especially
well-founded.You see, she grew up with a horse. She rode her
horse all the time. All the time, that is, until she was thrown
from her horse. She ended up in a coma and with a traumatic
brain injury that forced her to use a wheelchair. As Alisha
recovered and rehabilitated, her horse was quietly moved out
of sight to a neighbor’s barn. But this summer, as a camper at
Camp Twin Lakes, she got back on a horse for the first time
since her accident. Alisha worked hard and gained a great deal
of confidence at camp this summer. As she was leaving out the
barn one day, she said to CTL’s Horseback Riding Director,
“When I get back home, I am going to get the keys!”
The keys are the ones to her neighbor’s barn where her horse
lives. Alisha and her horse have been reunited thanks to her
experience at Camp Twin Lakes!
This story is reprinted from our Fall 2003 CTL News Splash.
“I just love working with kids with special medical
needs. They teach me so much about life. It’s
often the only time that these kids get to ride a
horse. I feel so honored to be able to teach them.
I’m amazed by the fact that they just met me
and are trusting me to take care of them and
keep them safe. Horses are great animals and
they can teach kids so much.”
- Allie Hush, Director of Horseback Riding
Program , Summer 2007

2012 Camp Programs
In 2012, Camp Twin Lakes collaborated with nearly 60 nonprofit organizations (Camp Partners), each serving a different
population, to provide customized, medically-supportive camp programs. CTL proudly subsidizes 80% of the direct camp costs
for every camper who attends camp, with Camp Partners covering the remaining costs. CTL provides our proven expertise
in therapeutic and adaptable programming, state-of-the-art campsites, food service, activities, staff, resources, and volunteers.
Camp Partners bring the expertise in the specific diagnosis or challenge and are responsible for recruiting campers, volunteer
counselors, and medical support staff. This collaboration ensures that CTL and our Camp Partners maximize resources and share
expertise to best meet the needs of each camper.

Program Activity Highlights and
Highlights of Some Improvements to Camp in 2012
Camp Twin Lakes’ program activities give our campers the opportunity to be creative and imaginative, all while building life
and social skills they can use when they are not at camp. Program activities do more than provide our campers with fun times
with friends—they expose them to things they might not have ever experienced and help them grow in their confidence and
capabilities.
Program Activity Highlights
Camp Twin Lakes Farm at CTL-Rutledge
With the support of partners in the Morgan County community, the CTL Farm expanded to include cows, which will provide
farm-raised beef for the Dining Hall. In addition, campers harvested more than 600 lbs. of fruits and vegetables last summer,
which were also served in the Dining Hall. Thank you to our farm supporters including the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of
Georgia, Tappan Street Restaurant Group, and The Sarah Baldwin Harris and J.D. Harris Foundation as well as other individual
donors who provided essential start-up funding for the Farm!
Discovery Program
Some of the newly developed Discovery Programs included:
Climbing – Campers learned the ins-and-outs of the Climbing Tower including climbing techniques, knot tying, belaying,
and rappelling. By the end of the week, campers were able to lead sessions at the Climbing Tower with adult supervision.
Awesome Program – Campers engaged in youth service projects and learned leadership skills. Activities included
writing thank you notes to other campers, creating thank you tiles used by CTL to thank various supporters and
volunteers, and they planned details for their camp dance.
Iron Chef – Beyond teaching basic cooking techniques and skills, this Discovery Program delved into more advanced
skills such as presentation and taste. Campers were given various ingredients and were tasked with coming up with
innovative dishes.
Free Play
CTL incorporated time for free play into the programs so that campers learn to think outside the box and create new,
fun ways to explore. Free play has also helped build the social skills of many campers who struggle with interpersonal
communication.
Camp-To-Go
Thanks to the generous support of NeadWerx, Camp-To-Go more than doubled the sessions offered at children’s hospitals
across the state in 2012. Camp-To-Go expanded to serve children at hospitals in Savannah and continued to serve children in
Atlanta, Macon, and Augusta. More than 530 campers experienced the imaginative Camp-To-Go program in 2012.
Family Warrior Weekend
Camp Twin Lakes reinvented its program serving Wounded Warriors and their families. CTL added two additional Family
Warrior Weekends and was able to serve both the physical and emotional needs of more veterans and their families.
Highlights of Some Improvements to Camp in 2012
CSE donated water bottles for summer campers at all our campsites and sponsored the CSE Greenhouse at CTL-Rutledge.
The Scott Hudgens Family Foundation donated a new sound system and movie screen for CTL-Will-A-Way.
BB&T volunteers constructed the Gold Panning program activity on the beach at CTL-Will-A-Way.
Camp Oo-U-La volunteers constructed a shade structure at the Kids II Remote Control Racecar Track and installed lighting
in the kitchen at CTL-Will-A-Way.
Kids II donated a cargo trailer for Camp-To-Go to bring program supplies to hospital-based daycamp programs around the
state.
SAP donated a new Outdoor Teaching Kitchen and Blair Smith gifted a new Indoor Teaching Kitchen at CTL-Rutledge.
Gratus Capital Management donated bunk beds for CTL-Camp Dream, which provided 44 more beds for campers.
A new Climbing Tower with a Vertical Obstacle Course was constructed at CTL-Camp Dream.
RV Pads were added to the parking lot and there are now Ground Hosts at CTL-Will-A-Way who help out
around camp.

In 1993, Camp Twin Lakes began
its life-changing, transformative
camp programs at is flagship
campsite in Rutledge.
From helping build facilities,
to caring for campers, to staffing
special events, volunteers are integral in
the success of Camp Twin Lakes. Pi Kappa
Phi is one of the many groups that has been
volunteering with CTL over the years through
their PUSH Camp initiative.
Camp Programs provide more than
recreational fun for our campers.
They help them to grow in their
confidence and capabilities while teaching
them skills to prepare them for life.
8
In 2007, CTL started its hospital-based
Camp-To-Go program, which now travels
to children’s hospitals in Atlanta, Augusta,
Macon, and Savannah.
In the summer of 2009,
CTL-Will-A-Way held its first
summer session. Expanding to
this campsite allowed CTL
to increase its camper capacity
by more than 50%.
In 2011, Camp Twin Lakes
began programming at a third
campsite at CTL-Camp Dream in
Warm Springs. This campsite
serves smaller Camp Partner
groups and is the home
of our Family Warrior Weekends.

Made with Love
Martha Barnes has shared her love of cooking
with campers for 20 years
The Dining Hall at CTL-Rutledge is the heartbeat
of camp. It’s not just a place where campers
come to have their bodies nourished—it’s a
place where their souls are also fed. From the
friendships and camaraderie developed around
the table, to the homemade meals with second
helpings, there is just something special about the
Dining Hall. Beyond the chaos that ensues when
the stoplight turns green and the singing starts
is something even more special—Martha Barnes,
Head Cook at Camp Twin Lakes for 20 years.
No one can deny that Ms. Martha is the
matriarch of Camp Twin Lakes—she has been
the mainstay of the camp kitchen since the first season of camp. Whether you want
a motherly embrace or a chocolate chip cookie, she is always there with open arms
and a charming smile. Beyond the ingredients that the recipe calls for, Ms. Martha
always adds a dash of love in everything she cooks because this is more than just a
job for her. It’s her calling in life.
Martha Barnes
Head Cook at CTL-Rutledge
“I feel like I am carrying out my mission in life.
It’s not hard, I don’t get tired, and I truly enjoy it
because it’s what I was put here to do,” said
Ms. Martha. All of her life, she has worked to
provide children with the nourishing meals they
need to grow up strong and healthy. Prior to
joining the CTL staff, Ms. Martha worked with the
Morgan County Board of Education for 20 years.
When she learned of the position with
Ms. Martha with
Cindy Norman in the 1990s
CTL-Rutledge in the early 1990s, she wanted to
make the transition because she truly believed in the mission of the organization.
“I feel like I’m providing the nourishment the campers need to heal their bodies
because Camp Twin Lakes is a place of healing,” she said.
She has witnessed firsthand the growth of not only CTL, but the campers who come
back each year. “Camp is a place where kids can come to grow to their greatest
ability in life. It’s truly a joy to see them year after year. Sometimes, you can’t even tell
the things that they are going through because camp is such a joyous place,” said
Ms. Martha. She has watched campers draw strength from each other, their
counselors, and the CTL staff to accomplish things they never thought they could.
It’s hard to imagine camp without
Ms. Martha, but she noted that one day she
will retire. Don’t think for one second that
retirement will keep her away from CTL!
“Even when I retire, I hope to come back
to Camp Twin Lakes part-time. I’ll also work
with my church visiting nursing homes and
continuing to feed people because it’s what
I was born to do.”

On behalf of the thousands of campers, volunteers, and staff members
that have come to camp, thank you, Ms. Martha!
Camp Twin Lakes kicked off its
20th Anniversary celebration with a

about an idea, but
they quickly said, ‘Gosh, you don’t have
a board, you don’t have a facility—do
you really know what you are doing?’”
“That Moment was one that filled

This week, children and teens with sickle-cell
disease paddled kayaks, tiptoed through a ropes
course, splashed in a pool and belted out songs

to make music with drums, support friends
swinging through the air in a safety harness and
other outdoor activities.
