Supporting the Ministry
Importance of Gifts
Camp Perkins exists because of the generous gifts of time, talents and treasures of dedicated camp friends. Each year more than 8,000 hours and $80,000 are donated to continue the vision and ministry in service to our King. Thank you to all who tirelessly serve and generously give.
Fees charged to children and youth cover only 80% of the cost of camp. Gifts from congregations and individuals enable us to keep camp affordable for all youth. Other youth need additional financial assistance in order to attend camp. No one is turned away from camp because of financial reasons.
