A week of Camp in the Community costs us $5500 to operate, and we ask churches to share the cost with us so we can partner in this important ministry. We hope to create a sustainable ministry that will exist 50 years from now, and in order to make that possible, we are asking churches to commit to covering between $3500-$5500 of the cost. The experience your church and campers receive is not altered by the amount you choose, but by paying what you can, you help us create a more stable future for camping ministry to those in poverty. Would your church be able to cover between $3500 and $5500?
Yes
No
