Quick Trip

Our thanks to Quick Trip for an amazing team of people who probably saved us MONTHS of work! Camp Tallchief and Camp Swannie are both much improved thanks to the generosity and enthusiasm of one amazing company!

All it takes is one day to make a difference.

Camp Tallchief enjoyed some special guests yesterday. Here Beth Burnett of Channel 2 interviews Mike Thornbrugh of Quick Trip. They had a corporate Day of Caring with a huge team of people who did AMAZING things for our properties. We roughly guessed it would have taken our property staff 3-4 months to accomplish the same amount of work! That is an amazing gift to a nonprofit. A HUGE thank you goes out to Quick Trip!

Here are 50 commonly used programs that have open source alternatives.
