WAYS TO GIVE
Your gift to our Scholarship or Greatest Need fund makes an eternal impact on the lives of campers.
Why Your Giving is Needed:
After completing its 100th summer, Camp Siloam was in the best position financially and operationally. Unexpectedly, camp received bad news; camp’s liability and property insurance increased by 400% due to over a million dollars in claims from two major storms in 2019. The property insurance market is changing, with insurers becoming less likely to insure camps in ‘tornado alley’ because of the number of wind and hail claims from the region.
To manage this unexpected increase, we are 1) cutting expenses 2) raising $200,000 in Greatest Need campaign funds 3) & possibly having to raise camp fees for 2024. We are careful and considerate when raising the price of camp and don’t want any camper unable to come because of price. We will be raising our scholarship goal to $175,000 in 2024, already having raised $62,500 this year. Last year we gave away $144,00 in camper scholarships.
Make a gift today. It takes five minutes to make an impact for eternity.
Scholarships
Camp Siloam never wants a child or student to be turned away due to the cost of camp. Monthly giving to the Scholarship fund allows camp to give scholarships to help with the cost of camp for those who would otherwise not be able to attend.
How Your Gifts Can Help a Camper:
- At Camp Siloam we see a 2-3% increase of campers come to faith in Jesus Christ among those who have received a scholarship.
- A gift of $5 per month feeds a camper for a week.
- A gift of $12 per month provides ½ of a scholarship for a camper.
- A gift of $25 per month provides one scholarship for a camper.
- A gift of $50 per month provides a scholarship for two high school students to attend a two week servant-leadership program.
- A gift of $75 per month provides a scholarship for a future staff member to attend the T2 leadership program for 4 weeks.
