Last December, more<br />
than 300 guests joined<br />
the North Shore Board of<br />
Northwestern Settlement<br />
at Morgan MFG in Chicago’s<br />
Fulton Market neighborhood,<br />
raising more than<br />
$500,000 to send 300 Chicago<br />
youth to Northwestern<br />
Settlement’s House In<br />
The Wood Camp for summer<br />
2018.<br />
“Whether through auction<br />
donors and benefit<br />
sponsors, or through the<br />
Settlement’s capital campaign,<br />
all have been a catalyst<br />
to transform House<br />
In The Wood into a yearround<br />
comprehensive<br />
program,” said Winnetka<br />
resident Amy O’Donnell,<br />
president of the North<br />
Shore Board.<br />
House In The Wood is<br />
not just another summer<br />
camp, although it has all of<br />
the memory-making moments<br />
such as swimming,<br />
tree-climbing and campfire<br />
songs. It is a year-round,<br />
data-driven program for<br />
at-risk youth from some<br />
of the most violent neighborhoods<br />
in Chicago, and<br />
addresses the academic,<br />
social and emotional needs<br />
of inner-city children in a<br />
nurturing outdoor environment<br />
in Delavan, Wis.<br />
For more than 125 years<br />
Northwestern Settlement<br />
has nurtured, educated and<br />
inspired children and families<br />
in need in Chicago.<br />
The Settlement’s House In<br />
The Wood Camp provides<br />
a safe, natural environment<br />
removed from urban<br />
life to foster growth and<br />
responsibility in campers.<br />
