$10,000 goal
FOCHSP members are active and enthusiastic, however neither of those attributes pay for playgrounds or bus rides for schoolchildren or much of anything else. In recent years, we have raised funds for significant improvements such as the installation and operation of the Osprey Camera, purchasing an ATV type vehicle for use by the Park's maintenance department, funding the construction of a new pavilion at the primitive campground , purchasing beach wheelchairs and additional mobility mats to aid handicapped access to the beaches.
We hope you will consider helping us help to keep Cape Henlopen State Park a fun place for all.

· FOCHSP have also funded the purchase of beach access mats for dune crossings, beach accessible wheel chairs, renovation of the Park’s Disc Golf course, construction of the new Primitive Youth camp pavilion, water fountains and restrooms .
· The FOCHSP paid for the construction and maintenance of the playground in Cape Henlopen State Park.
· The FOCHSP helped secured grant monies for the refurbishment of the boardwalk/walkway at the McBride Bathhouse.
. Future plans include funding for improvements such as shade structures at the picnic area and eco-friendly groundcover for the children’s playground. Additionally, the installation of a Monarch Butterfly feeding station near the Biden Center is planned, featuring the Monarch’s favorite native Delaware plants.
