Become a Heron Partner!
We are looking to partner with local and regional businesses that align with our values and that will create fun experiences for our campers this season. We are particularly looking for local beer, wine and cider sponsors, but submit your idea and we’ll consider it!
Our partner vendors are a cherished part of our family. We love engaging in our local community and working with other small businesses.

Help us cross the finish line!
The NEW Heron Bathhouse is almost complete!
After years of planning, fundraising, and construction, we’re in the final stages of bringing this long-awaited project to life. The walls are up, the ceilings are finished, and the final details are coming together.
Thanks to the incredible support of our community, we’ve already raised:
🧱 $40,000 through personalized bricks
💙 $70,000 through our matching fund campaign
We’re deeply grateful for every donation, every encouraging word, and every person who has helped move this project forward.
We still have $30,000 left to raise to reach our fundraising goal and help cover the cost of this $333,000 project.
Every contribution, large or small, helps us complete the bathhouse and continue investing in the future of The Heron for campers, festival-goers, families, and community gatherings for years to come.
Thank you for helping make this dream a reality!
