Make an investment in something
that will last forever: Changed Lives!
Camp Hebron appreciates your support. There are several ways to contribute.
General Fund
This fund supports the ongoing operation and ministry of the camp. Our mission is to help people connect to God, nature and each other. Camp is often the place of significant spiritual growth and renewal. One summer camper wrote, "They better come or they’ll miss out on the change of a lifetime.” Donations help to keep rates and camper fees affordable. $100,000 of gift income is needed each year.

Scholarship Fund
Camp Hebron seeks to make a week of camp available to all children and families regardless of their economic status. Based on need, camp awards funds to campers who are unable to afford our fees. A typical scholarship is 1/3 of the cost of the program. These are available to families and individuals for camp programs. In 2009 over $25,000 was received and distributed to scholarship campers. The source of these funds is direct donations from private individuals and foundations as well as our annual benefit golf tournament which is held on the second Wednesday in May at PAR LINE in Elizabethtown, PA.

Capital Fund
The Capital Fund is used to enhance and expand the facilities and equipment of the camp. Capital projects are dependent on donations and gift pledges. Current projects include:
Internet Project:
Goal: $83,250 |
Received to date: $70,915 |
Project Status: Completed |
Still needed: $12,335 |
High speed internet service is now available to our guests. In May, 2009 a tower was constructed on Breezewood Hill to receive an internet signal from a neighbor's property where service is available. Additional equipment was installed to provide access to the office and to our guests. Because it was less expensive to complete the project than to come back and finish it when the funds became available, the project was completed with the help of an interest-free loan. Contributions are needed to pay back this loan. We appreciate your help. |

After many years of loving use the furnishings in Sylvan View are very worn and tired. Camp has developed a design plan to create a warm and inviting place for fellowship and connection at Sylvan View. In May, 2009, new carpet and wallpaper was installed in the dining room. Over the winter, new carpet, furniture, wall paper and a permanent reception area were added in the Sylvan lobby. New front doors and a few finishing touches are still needed. A ladies brunch and silent auction was held on Saturday, Oct 24th which provided $11,000 in funds for these furnishings.

Camp has received the donation of four sets of gently used, modern playground equipment that is in excellent condition. With this equipment camp is creating several new playground areas at various locations around camp. Camp has also obtained skate park equipment at a very reasonable cost. These unexpected blessings provide more opportunities for the children who attend camp but they also create unexpected expenses. Funds are needed to secure and install these items.
A quote of $25,000 had been given for moving and installing the playground and skate park, however, because of volunteers giving of their expertise, equipment and time, the actual cost will be closer to $10,000. Thanks to those who have helped this happen. |

Pet Projects
Camp Hebron will discuss offers to fund specific projects. Presently there is an individual who funds the annual upgrade of the John Deere tractor. There are others who have “adopted” a horse and contributed funds specifically to assist with their upkeep. There is also an individual who purchases an annual subscription to “Birds and Blooms” magazine for the camp. These are also very helpful. Call 800-864-7747 to discuss your ideas with us.
In-kind Donations
Camp has also benefited from the donation of tangible items that are used but still have a good useful life. These have included vehicles, furniture, appliances and game equipment. Items should be offered and accepted prior to bringing them to camp. Please call 800-864-7747 to discuss this with us.
Time & Talent
Camp Hebron has a reputation for excellent guest service. This relies heavily on help from volunteers in a variety of areas from food service to office to housekeeping to maintenance and program. Please consider how you might use your time and talent to contribute to Camp Hebron’s ministry. There is more information at the volunteers section of this website.
Estate Planning and Gifts
God has called us to be excellent stewards of the provision He has given. There are excellent ways to take care of loved ones and support worthy organizations like Camp Hebron. Please call our office (800-864-7747) if you would like help in exploring these options and setting up a deferred gift or estate. We have access to counselors through Mennonite Foundation who will help you insure that your assets will go where you want them.
