"There was this group of people that when you came together in this sacred place who knew what it means to be a Neringa camper. You only had to look at them and you would see it in their eyes, in their smile...that they also had Neringa...in their “heart”. It was a feeling like no other to belong to this group who had this feeling. When we are together reflecting, laughing, sharing it touches me deep into my soul. Who wouldn’t want that for their children? ...and their children’s children. My children look at me as if I don’t know. But I see it in the smiles they give to fellow campers, in their eyes and I just know...it touched them the way it touched me. ❤️This is why I give to Neringa. "

Why Give
"I wanted to donate because my life has been richer with having experienced the love of community, culture and heritage as I did going to Neringa every summer. The friends I made there and the unique things I learned (songs, culture, dances, history, language....) have shaped me and given me connection to my ancestors that may have been lost without it, as a first-generation American. Neringa is a very special place and needs to thrive!"

Why Give
"Prieš daug metų mano tuomet dar visai mažametė dukra Simona, po šeimų stovyklos vėl grįžusi į "Neringą" ir prisiminusi namelius, valgyklą, gamtą ir gerai praleistą laiką, sakė: "Čia yra MŪSŲ stovykla! MŪSŲ!" Aš norėčiau, kad ši stovykla visada gyvuotų ir priimtų kiekvieną stovyklautoją, kuris grįžta į "Neringą" kaip į savo namus, ir kad ji visada būtų MŪSŲ!"

"Every summer growing up, I looked forward to my 2-3 weeks at Camp Neringa: a place to gather with new friends & old, to laugh, to dance, to reflect, and to celebrate our culture.

I’m donating so that the dirt road up the mountain always leads to Neringa, home away from home. "

Why Give
"Mes Neringą atradome praeitą vasarą, ir iškart pajutome kad tai stebuklinga ir šventa vieta. Ne tik nuostabi gamta bet ir nuoširdūs, dvasingi ir pasiaukojantys žmonės kurie vairuoja stovyklos vairą. Truputėlį jaudinomės kai vežėme savo 9-metę dukrą į stovyklą bet po tokio šilto priėmimo išvažiavome ramia širdimi atradę dalelę Lietuvos. Mano jaunesnė dukra važiuojant atgal paklausė ar tai buvo Lietuva? Mes nusprendėm paremti Neringą100 vajų nes tikime kad tai bus vieta kurią mūsų vaikai, ir galbūt jų anūkai prisimins ir sugryš kaip į savo namus."
