Founded in 1885, Frost Valley YMCA is the nation’s oldest YMCA camp and a nearly 6,000 acre residential camping, environmental education, and conference center located in the “forever wild” Catskill Mountain Preserve, just two hours from New York City. We are a destination for community, nature, art, and recreation, offering year-round programs that inspire growth, connection, creativity, and resilience for people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. As leaders in camping and outdoor education, Frost Valley provides meaningful, screen-free experiences that help people connect to themselves, to others, and to the natural world. As a charitable organization, we raise funds to provide camperships and financial assistance, ensuring access to transformative outdoor experiences for children and families regardless of race, identity, or socioeconomic background. Guided by our “For All” mission, we strive to be a place where all people belong and are respected. To help us give the gift of camp, please email development@frostvalley.org or visit www.frostvalley.org/donate.

Transforming the egg case with ethical eggs for the Humane Race, Egg Innovations provides 100% Free Range and Pasture Raised eggs. Before cage free, before free range; Egg Innovations was creating the premium egg category to transform chicken welfare, elevating hen care and egg quality. Egg Innovations’ farming roots date back over 100 years, to the Brunnquell homestead in Port Washington, WI. As a third-generation farmer, John Brunnquell, CEO and President of Egg Innovations, grew up in the egg business. Our founder has earned his Ph.D. by studying and understanding the natural behaviors of hens. With these insights, Egg Innovations' priority is the health and wellness of the chickens to farm in a way that lets chickens be chickens. That commitment continues as Egg Innovations is understanding the needs and wants of consumers and striving to meet their growing needs. With a focus on the welfare of chickens, people, and the planet; Egg Innovations is working to rejuvenate the Earth, restore the soil, and improve the ecosystem of the planet through sustainable farming practices. With the growing concern around climate impact, Egg Innovations is committed to be the sustainable solution through innovation in the egg case. We are proud to be the leader in regenerative egg farming and are on a mission to help our chickens, people and planet lead healthier lives.
