Help sustain Great Camp Sagamore
for future generations.

Fifty years ago this fall, people generous with their financial resources, time, and expertise, saved Sagamore. New York State purchased Sagamore from Syracuse University in 1975, and the State Constitution’s “Forever Wild” clause mandated the buildings be destroyed and that the area returned to its natural habitat.

Thankfully, the forethought, partnership, and enormous efforts of the newly formed Preservation League of New York State and two young idealist leaders of the nonprofit National Humanistic Center, Inc. ensured that Sagamore’s buildings remained standing. Together, they worked to transfer the property from the State, through the Preservation League, and onto the nonprofit we benefit from today.

Your contributions today will support our stewardship of Sagamore so that we may continue welcoming others to explore, learn from, and become part of Sagamore’s history and authentic community.
