Davidson Donation Funds New Lodge at Camp Rotary In a surprise announcement today, Rotary Club of Great Falls learned that the long-awaited construction of a new lodge at Camp Rotary will begin in August, made possible by a generation donation from Ian and Nancy Davidson. Camp Rotary has been a service project of the Great Falls club since 1918.  Through a special use permit by the U.S. Forest Service, the 4.5-acre site in the Lewis and Clark Forest, five miles south of Monarch, hosts more than 800 children each year through programs offered by various community organizations.  With the construction of the new all-weather lodge, Camp Rotary can operate year-round, offering many more children and programs the opportunity to use Camp Rotary at minimal cost. As the longest-enrolled member of Rotary Club of Great Falls, Ian Davidson was well aware of the challenges the aging facility was facing, as well as the good works the camp has historically made possible for children living in challenging circumstances.  His donation will allow the club to demolish the present lodge and construct an entirely new one in its footprint. Bruce Davidson will be the architect for the project, with Sletten Construction handling the construction. Davidson Lodge, as the new lodge will be called, will be ready for campers by June 2013.  | | Posted on Aug 29, 2011

| Camp Rotary hosts more than 800 children each year though various community organizations such as 4-H, camps for children of incarcerated parents, children in foster homes, and those that have lost a loved one, to name a few. Access to camp provides children with an excellent educational experience and for many may be the only positive experience they have that summer.

Since 1917, the US Forest Service and the Rotary Club of Great Falls have maintained what has become the country's longest-standing lease of forest service land. Five Year Improvement Plan printed in separate story. | |
All of the resulting US$555 million will be spent in support of immunization activities carried out by the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) in polio-affected countries. The initiative is spearheaded by Rotary, the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and UNICEF.
