Our Projects

The mission of the Camp Eastman Development Association is the enhancement of the Camp Eastman experience. Since it's inception in 1995 (as the Tribe of the Silver Tomahawk Alumni), CEDA has been instrumental in raising funds, writing grants, and securing donated materials and labor for dozens of projects, both large and small in scope.
