Fundraising

Fundraising for everyones' benefit...

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, the second  new bike barn, purchasing an ATV type  vehicle for use by the Park's maintenance department, purchasing a new Point of Sale System for the Park office, purchasing handicapped beach wheelchairs and purchasing a copy machine and computer equipment for the Park office plus several  new park benches.

​Following  are some of our fundraising activities. We hope you will consider helping us help to keep Cape Henlopen State Park a fun place for all.

FOCHSP Membership

Joining FOCHSP and becoming a "Friend" is a great way to financially support the work we do, and/or  Being a "Friend" also entitles you  discounts on merchandise, invitations to special events and regular email updates about activities. You can join online or by mail.

Merchandise Sale

The sale of "Friends" merchandise is another way that we raise money to support our efforts. It's also a great way you can show everyone that you're a supporter of Cape Henlopen State Park and to spread the word about our activities.   Remember that FOCHSP Members receive a 10% discount on all merchandise, including clearance items. We now accept credit and debit cards!

Annual Youth Fishing Tournament at the Park Fishing Pier
Saturday, June 16th. 8:00am -  11:00am


Our youth fishing tournament for children 15 and under is held annually.. 

There is a $10 entry fee  which covers the cost of staging the event.
All entrants receive a free T-shirt!
 Prizes will be awarded for the   largest fish caught, most fish caught,  first and last fishes  caught.  Also,  and thanks to the generosity of our local bait and tackle shops, who donate fishing themed prizes, most entrants will go home with a prize.

Fishing lines drop in the water promptly at 8:00am,  so plan on arriving at the pier between 7:00am and & 7:30am to get a good spot, and a timely start.
Join us for this fun morning out for both parents and kids. 

This activity is also aimed at  getting  young people interested in the many other activities that the park has to offer. so, if you are not already familiar with our park why not make a day of it and explore further?
