Ingham Sports Court & Sun Shelter

After decades of use, the old asphalt playing court near the old Ingham dining hall is simply worn out. To serve campers in the future, we plan to build a 60’ x 80’ court that will support several different games such as basketball, volleyball, and pickleball. The construction of the court itself will cost approximately $50,000, with some added costs for goals, rec equipment and a possible fence. In addition, we plan to build a new shelter for campers near the beach.  We are excited about the future growth of our camp ministry at Ingham and we hope that you will prayerfully consider giving to this project.

 

Goal: $80,000

Sponsor a Camp Counselor

Time and time again we hear about the powerful way that God uses camp counselors at camp. They welcome campers, lead them through all of the activities, they watch to keep children safe, and help them to deeply consider the power of God's love and message of Christ in their lives. Though they may always be underpaid, we are making changes to try to offer camp counselors a little more stipend in thanks for their great work. We invite you to support a day, a week, or a whole summer of counselor pay. Click here to donate.

​

  • One packed day (about 22 hrs. on duty) of leading fun activities and worship:($54.55/day)

  • One week (5.5 very full days) of songs, Bible studies, Bonkers, and swimming: ($300)    (Sponsor a week with your gift at $25.00/month)

  • The whole summer (11 powerful weeks) of sharing Christ through nearly every hour of each day: ($3,300.00) (Sponsor a counselor for the summer with your gift of $275/month)
