Giving to Sargent Center

With a gift to Sargent Center you can help honor, sustain, and build a rich tradition of outdoor education.

Since 1912, when Sargent Center first opened its doors as Sargent Camp, the Boston University community—and beyond—has gathered in our beautiful New Hampshire woodlands to learn in, about, and for the outdoors.

We are asking for your help to ensure that new generations will be able to continue the learning and growth that are found in special places like Sargent Center.

No matter what method you choose or how much you give, your contribution to Sargent Center will extend the magic of outdoor education to over 10,000 people each year.

Currently, we are accepting gifts to three separate funds with three equally worthy goals:

Discretionary Fund – Your gift to the Discretionary Fund supports our educational programs through stipends paid to seasonal instructors, program supplies and equipment, upgrades to our cabins, dorms, meeting rooms and grounds, and development of new program activities.

Giving Tree Scholarship Fund –The Giving Tree Scholarship supplements camper tuition in our popular Adventure Camp. As the fund grows, we hope to provide assistance to participants in School Programs and youth conferences who have difficulty meeting tuition costs.

Renovation Fund – An exciting plan is underway to update many of the facilities at Sargent Center. Currently, renderings are available of our planned renovations for: the semi-dorm lodge and the dormitory cabin.

Those interested in making a bequest to Sargent Center through their estate are encouraged to contact a representative at Boston University’s Office of Gift and Estate Planning.
