The ring of the truth.

Without donations, the CAMBA trail system would not exist.

Yes, we raise money through fundraising and membership, but generous, sizable donations provide our financial foundation and give CAMBA the security and sustainability necessary to provide trails that flourish, to provide community engagement around the trails, and to improve year after year.

With utmost gratitude for past patrons and all-out hope and appreciation for the contributors of our future, we present here our new giving program that truthfully asks for what is needed and creatively rewards those who support CAMBA.

A donation program with some real teeth.

Like the infamous “Big Ring” itself, we need some real, muscular funding power to maintain our current momentum and achieve our future goals.

Here is what we’re asking for to tackle our needs, bite-by-bite and tooth-by-tooth.

Sprucing up the trails: Bringing Makwa back to classic ridability; revitalizing .38 Special, Flow Mama, and the Dirty Dozen, creating a new Seeley Jump Line out of the old way down from OO and overall refreshing of Seeley Pass.

Fashioning and delivering inspiring Community Events: The Cheq100 endures, the Festival of the Trails is coming back as a Revival, volunteer Work Days that are more like daily trail celebrations and the Global Fat Bike Day participation.

In order to keep the momentum and community actions going, we need to raise $180,000. Obviously we need your help and your investment to our product—the trails—and community—our events, races and clinics.

We can make it happen. And we are eternally grateful for your help and the help of all who donate to CAMBA.

The breakdown

$76K Wisconsin Conservation Corp – Not only engaging the leaders of tomorrow on our trails, but revitalizing drainage and tread on Makwa and Seeley Pass with rock & root work to bring riding back to its classic state.

$45K Professional Trail Builder – Let’s bring .38 Special, Flow Mama, the Dirty Dozen, and sections of Makwa back to life. And give me that Seeley Jump Line.

$43K CAMBA Trail Crew & Volunteer Program Management – Taking what the trails give us and working it.

$16K Equipment Repair, Supplies, Fuel – Those bare necessities.

We are the stewards of a priceless attraction. It is a responsibility we do not take lightly. It is also a duty that would be impossible to fulfill without others.

Rewards and recognition written forever in stone.

Since the majority of CAMBA funding goes back into the trails, we believe our funding accolade program should be similarly structured.

When you give, we will engrave your name on a relatable-size rock to be placed in the CAMBA Giver’s Rock Garden, which, hopefully, will become not only part of the trail, but also a fun, technical feature.

•A donation of $1000 = medium-sized rock engraved.

•A donation of $5000 = large-sized rock engraved.

•A donation of $10000 = jumbo-sized rock engraved.

Think of it as a living, breathing legacy being seen and shared by all others who ride and appreciate CAMBA’s amazing trails.

We want to be prudent with spending your donations by keeping operating costs as low as possible.

Our programs include our trail development, membership, merchandise, races, & clinics. Program costs are 76% of our budget while operating costs make up 24% of our budgeted expenses. We feel good about our focus on the trails and community!
