All proceeds from the Twin Cities Snowshoe Shuffle go to support Camp Bovey, a summer resident camp for boys and girls ages 8-14. Their mission is to provide a safe place for youth to have fun while participating in outdoor activities that help build respect for themselves, one another, and the environment.

Since 1949, East Side Neighborhood Services has provided youth in our community the opportunity to attend Camp Bovey.

 "Thank you so much for your help with coordinating the campership...It really means a lot to us... our daughter loves Camp Bovey and being able to go without a major sacrifice financially is priceless." 

 "For weeks my son talked about how much fun he had.  He enjoyed fishing, hiking, games and most of all the outdoor fires and songs." 

"My son learned many new things like how to ride and care for horses, which he didn't know how to do before."  

"My daughter went knowing no one and came home with new friends." 

And from Happy Campers:
