Greetings From Stoney Point Camp
Great is God's Faithfulness is not just a song title but a testimony of camp. We thank the Lord for the way He has allowed us to serve campers these last thirteen years. We are deeply grateful for your past support and look forward to your continued partnership. As we finish up 2024 and look forward to next year and following, there are a few projects and programs that we are excited about.
Week 1: Camper Discipleship Program $3000.00
By design, campers spend time conquering the Big Fifty each day. The Big Fifty is our camp verse booklet that includes fifty life verses for every camper. Dozens of campers memorize these verses and move on to our next booklet called the Extra Mile with fifty more. One of the greatest activities to grow and strengthen campers is to be outside enjoying God’s creation while hiding His Word in their hearts.
Each new quarter campers are mailed their own daily devotional booklets so that they may grow spiritually while away from camp. We have had many testimonies of campers reading these regularly by themselves, with grandparents, and even for school.
Sharing God's Word with campers who do not have a Bible is important to us. Each year we have campers who come to camp who do not own a Bible. We do our best to ensure they go home with their own copy of the Scripture.
These costs are not funded by camper registrations but through donations. It will cost no less than $3000 to disciple our campers with these resources for the next year.
Week 2: Dry Goods Storage Unit $5000.00
Meal time is one of the most memorable times of camp. Eating and laughing with friends is the greatest. However, our storage has become inadequate as our camper numbers continue to increase. $5000 will allow us to build a separate dry storage area, ensuring that we can continue to serve our campers in a safe and clean way.
Week 3: Summer Staff $10,000.00
The most essential part of running camp is our staff. They are the driving force of summer activities. They lead in worship, run games, clean bathrooms, wrangle horses, and connect with campers every day of summer. We are thankful for the many great counselors who have spent their summers ministering here at camp. We are raising $10,000 to help offset the cost of staff salaries for our counselors.
Week 4: Staff House $20,000.00
The fourth project is our Staff House, "The Ranch House." Having our camp manager living on-site has been a great advantage, not just because we have increased our spring and fall retreats but because the staff house includes 600 sq ft. of woodworking and storage space. We hope to raise $20,000 against the $100K mortgage this year.
