Give the Gift of Camp and Show God’s Love to our Youth
At Strawberry Point, we believe all children deserve the experience of camp. Camp is a place to disconnect from the stresses of daily life and connect with each other. It’s a place to be active and appreciate the beauty of creation. It’s a place to develop leadership and confidence. At camp, we grow as individuals and as a community, all while seeing a demonstration of Christ’s love active in our lives. The impact lasts a lifetime.
Please give generously as you partner with us to achieve this important mission. Camp registration fees only cover a portion of our costs each year, so we rely on our many supporters to make camp a reality.
