Throughout November and December, we’re highlighting the stories of several supporters of Camp Arcadia’s ministry, why they give, and how.
Mark and Alison Franke
Mark and Alison Franke spend a week at Camp each summer as Family Week Campers and are excited to have recently become Camp Arcadia Legacy Builders. In addition, Ali serves on the LCA Board of Directors and End of Season Staff, and Mark is a committed RKD Men’s Retreat attendee! Mark and Ali live in St. Louis, MO with their son, Henry (14).
What do you love most about Camp Arcadia?
What inspires you to give to Camp Arcadia?
It is important to us to support faith based organizations that make a difference and Camp Arcadia easily tops that list. We have relocated four times as a family and each summer when we turn onto Oak Street, it feels like we are coming home. Mark has said that he comes annually for two reasons: because every year is completely different and because every year is exactly the same.
You can learn more about supporting Camp Arcadia with a gift and registering to attend a retreat at Camp Arcadia on our website.

Hi Ali…..Thank you for the note.
I started coming to RKD in the 1940’s when I was 5 years old. My family came every summer till I graduated from high school. We lived in Chicago. After I was married, my husband and I brought our 3 girls here a number of summers and one of my daughters worked in the kitchen at Arcadia when she was in college.
She ande her family have visited a few times since then, and we are hoping to come in August this year (as long as we can get a flight….we now live on the East Coast..our flight has been changed once already..
I live in CT and Lisa and her family live in Pelham, NY.)
Take care and have a great summer.
Love, Joy Johansen
