About Harrison B. Freeman
HARRISON B.
FREEMAN
A legacy of compassion links our founder, Harrison Barber Freeman with innumerable Channel 3 Kids Camp supporters today. The compassion of our supporters enables The Channel 3 Kids Camp to welcome children in need from all over Connecticut to our beautiful 350 acre campus in Coventry and Andover.
Realizing that there were hundreds of children in the Hartford area that would never be able to experience a country vacation and all the benefits to their health and well-being that result, the Harrison B. Freeman family, in collaboration with the Union for Home Work in Hartford, began its tradition of providing a summer camping experience for city children at their summer home, the Almada Lodge in 1910.
In 1920, The Hartford Times newspaper assumed full responsibility for the program. In 1931, the Freeman family deeded the property, and the Hartford Times deeded the buildings, equipment and land, to a newly formed charitable corporation: The Almada LodgeTimes Farm Camp Corporation.
Through the remarkable generosity of the public and other funding sources, the camp has grown from serving 20 campers in 1910 to serving more than 4000 children year-round. We have children come to us from all over the state of Connecticut.
Giving Society
To recognize the permanent value of legacy gifts to the Channel 3 Kids Camp, we have created the Harrison B. Freeman Giving Society. Mr. Freeman, the founder of the Camp, cared deeply about children and adults in the city of Hartford.
His legacy of generosity has had an effect on the lives of thousands of children since 1910. Each year your generous support makes our work possible, thank you for continuing this spirit.

Planned Giving
What is planned giving? Planned giving allows you to make a gift to the Channel 3 Kids camp now or after your death while allowing you to enjoy financial benefits yourself during your lifetime.
Keep in mind, this type of giving requires some planning, often with help from professional advisors. Unlike cash donations, planned gifts are made from assets in your estate rather than disposable income, and will benefit the Channel 3 Kids Camp after your death
Planned Giving options include:
- Bequest in your will or living trust
- A charitable remainder trust
- A charitable gift annuity
- A charitable lead trust
- An endowment fund
- Retirement plan assets
- Life Insurance policies
Planned Giving is not just for the wealthy, in fact most gifts come from people of modest means allowing them to make a lasting difference to a favorite cause much greater than they could have made during their lifetime.
