2023 Fundraising Gala!

Join us on Saturday, December 2, for a Fundraising Gala! The evening will consist of dinner, music, and a silent auction. Cam Tyssen, a Pines alumni, will be providing the music and we will hear testimonies of the impact Pines made on individuals, families, and the community. Our goal is to raise $50,000 to be able to freeze our camper rates for 2024 and dedicate resources to staff recruitment and retention.

Tickets are $75 each or $525 for a table of 8. Get your tickets today!

If you are unable to attend but would like to support this fundraiser, you can donate online at the link below.

This year, as always, we are counting on God’s faithfulness, demonstrated through His people to meet the needs of Pines Bible Camp. It is God’s ministry in the midst of his mission field. We are but colabourers in the work He has started and will finish through Jesus Christ.

Consider supporting the ministry of Pines as we make disciples of children, youth, and families.

Our goal for our 60th year is to increase our monthly donors by 60! If you can afford, $10, $20, or more to support us each month, that contribution will go a long way to help reach children, youth, and families with the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

Together we can make such a big difference!

Our Financial Need

The ministry of Pines Bible Camp relies on support from individuals and communities to keep our camper rates affordable for most families and to support the ongoing ministry operations. The greatest support we can receive is through your prayers, upholding the Pines leadership, staff, volunteers, and campers. Pray that we will remain faithful to the calling God has for us and the ministry; pray for health, safety, strength, and perseverance through the very busy summer months; and pray that the Gospel of Jesus Christ will be presented clearly and without compromise.

We also rely on financial support to maintain the operations of the ministry year-round. Camper fees are intentionally set affordably so that every child has an opportunity to attend and is not restricted by finances. The actual cost for a camper for a week of camp is 2-3 times more than the set registration fee. Financial donations and revenue from our guest groups help keep these fees affordable. Some practical areas to give towards are:

1. Camper Sponsorship (Campership Fund) – many parents contact us for full or partial sponsorship for camper fees. We typically provide about $7000 in camperships each summer in partnership with private donors and community agencies.
2. General Operations – non-designated donations are put towards the general operational expenses of the ministry. Our income period for the year generally falls between March and October; however, expenses such as maintenance, monthly bills, salaries, and insurance are carried over the course of the full year.
3. Capital or Designated Fund – if you prefer to give towards a specific project or area of camp these funds will be held and distributed accordingly. We do not have any capital projects planned so here are some areas where you can designate funds:
   1. 1. 1. 1. Program Activities (archery, ropes courses, bazooka ball/paintball, etc.)
            2. Kitchen Supplies (small/medium appliances, utensils/gadgets, aprons, oven mitts, etc.)
            3. Maintenance (vehicles & equipment, buildings, grounds, etc.)
