Support Camp Chesterfield’s Feature Film: Ghost from the River 

Dear Camp Chesterfield Friends and Family,

We invite you to join us in an extraordinary opportunity to honor and celebrate the rich history and spirit of Camp Chesterfield. We are thrilled to announce plans for the feature film Ghost from the River, a powerful story deeply connected to camp's legacy. The film is set to be filmed at Camp Chesterfield in the spring of 2025, and you can help make it a reality!

Camp historian Dr. Todd Leonard has advised on the script and says about Ghost from the River

“It’s very exciting! But it's not a scary movie. It’s about Spirit and how Spirit is interconnected in our lives.”

This project promises to bring a beloved camp story to life in a meaningful way, sharing its spirit with a wider audience while preserving Camp's unique significance as a home for Spiritualism.

Director James Moriarty, who has been a frequent visitor and friend of Camp for many years, wants you to know that:

”A professional movie producer has actually offered to fund Ghost from the River … but only if I cut out Spiritualism and made it a horror story.

“I told him ‘No way!’

“We won’t compromise our vision – or our support for Camp Chesterfield’s mission – even if that means raising the funds ourselves.”

As James suggests, bringing this vision to reality requires your support. Your contributions will directly help with:

• Production expenses for on-site filming.

• Highlighting the history, beauty, and spiritual legacy of Camp Chesterfield.

• Creating a cinematic work that strengthens our community and its mission.

Your gift, no matter the size, makes a difference. Together, we can make Ghost from the River a reality and ensure that Camp Chesterfield continues to inspire new audiences for generations to come.

With gratitude,

Dr. Rachael Smith
