The purpose of this Fund shall be to honor the life of Douglas E. Metz. In memory of an amazing and generous man who cared deeply about education, The Douglas E. Metz Camp Thrive Foundation seeks to ensure that Carroll County, school-age children who have been potentially impacted by substance addiction have the opportunity to come together in a healthy, non-threatening environment to interact with counselors, law enforcement personnel, and similarly situated students in a fun, but structured environment that allows for healing-helping to provide a path for these students to move forward on a positive basis.
