Our ministry depends on the prayers and generosity of our camp families and community. In addition to supplies and day-to-day expenses, we have many projects in the works that are in need of financial support. We greatly appreciate monetary donations as well as donations of supplies. We also welcome volunteers and work teams to offer their time and talents to assist with projects around camp. Please prayerfully consider how you can best help us. For more information on what we’re doing, please scroll to the bottom of the page.
