Thank you to the Wyoming Community Foundation for their continued support!

Sept 1, 20226

The Pinedale Aquatic Center and Friends of PAC are grateful to the Wyoming Community Foundation for providing grant funding to support the Little Wrangler Day Camp this summer AND support expanded programming on Fridays to meet the need of having a four-day school week.

Since 1989, the Wyoming Community Foundation has connected people who care with causes that matter, helping strengthen communities across Wyoming. With more than 500 funds and a history of awarding over $150 million to charitable causes, the Foundation partners with donors and nonprofits to support local needs and create lasting impact throughout the state.

In 2026, we served nearly 2,800 camper days, averaging 32 campers per day. Families rely on LWDC not only for dependable care, but also for enriching activities designed to support physical, social, and emotional development.

This year campers participated in many different activities. Campers were able to explore the outdoors on hikes and at local lakes, visit the Heritage Home and participate in activities with seniors, visit local businesses and services for tours, join in on the fun at Trader's Row, engage in STEAM based activities that allowed for learning while having fun, and so much more! Their curriculum has been carefully crafted to provide joy and learning simultaneously. While the participants think of all this as summer fun, the Camp also provides a critical role to our community, ensuring a safe, flexible, and enriching childcare environment that allows many parents to continue working while school is out.

The Friends of PAC nonprofit organization was created to secure supplemental funding for the PAC and its important programs as county revenues decline. The board is working hard to identify new partnerships and collaborations that will benefit the PAC. Learn more at www.welovepac.com.
