MAKE YOUR GIFT TO CAMP OF CHAMPIONS USA

A contribution to our General Ministry fund gives our team the ability to do the deep, meaningful, and often unseen work that leads to more effective outcomes for our campers and staff when summer camp comes around. We use these funds for a variety of needs throughout the year, including purchasing program supplies, maintaining our camp office and facilities, recruiting & training our summer staff team, and other priorities that advance the mission of Camp.

This program provides financial assistance to families in Central Illinois every year. Roland and his wife Shirley built the Youth Ranch (Pekin Camp location) in the 1950s. His desire was that children would have a safe place to spend time learning about God. Many children came to know the Lord through Roland and Shirley’s dedicated service. We consider it a privilege to continue the tradition of helping children through this scholarship program.

In July of 2004, Becky Joos Winter died an unexpected and untimely death. For Becky’s older sister, this tragic event brought to mind Genesis 50:20 and how God used a great source of suffering for the good of saving many lives. To that end, Becky’s sister has partnered with Camp of Champions USA to start a scholarship fund specifically for sisters. Her desire is for sisters to attend camp together and hear the good news of Jesus Christ.

Our Leadership Team works year-round to continuously improve the camp program, raise funds for the financial assistance program, provide ongoing discipleship for our summer staff, and expand the impact and reach of the ministry so that more children and families hear the Good News about Jesus.
