Today, more and more people are choosing to ask for donations to charity in lieu of flowers at the funeral of a loved one.  We are grateful for those who choose ECM Camps as the charity of choice to collect donations in memory of a family member or friend.  Donations can often be organized through your funeral home, or donations can be made directly on our payments page.

Current Fundraising Projects

“Pay Their Way” Camper Sponsorship

Sponsoring a week of camp is the perfect way to give a child a week to remember that will impact their life and faith. Our Pay Their Way program can provide funds to families who apply for sponsorship.

General Operating Donations

Unrestricted operating donations assist us in meeting the ongoing operating financial obligations of our organization, including paying our staff salaries, recurring bills, and unexpected costs that may arise outside of capital projects.  General operating donations are greatly appreciated!

Capital Projects

Capital donations help us to maintain and improve our physical property. If a particular project is over-funded or if it is determined that we cannot move ahead we will reallocate these funds to our next capital project in order of priority.  Capital donations are currently going to the following projects:

Stayner Cabin Refurbishment

As Stayner’s programming has transitioned from overnight kids camps to day camps, and our accommodations have been used primarily by family campers and rental groups, we have begun reimagining what our cabins can look like.  This spring we were able to complete renovations on a second cabin, with plans underway to refurbish even more to be convenient and usable for families, including installation of new flooring and wall paneling, replacing windows as needed, building new queen sized platform beds and bunks, and a fresh new paint job on the outside.  We hope these new family cabins will be a cozy and comfortable home-away-from-home for families coming to join us at Stayner Camp.

Stayner Lodge Roof Replacement

The roof over the camp offices and lower lounge is in great need of replacement with some water leakage issues arising over the past year.  This fall, Midhurst Roofing will be coming in to replace and upgrade this section of the building’s roof, with added precautions to avoid the same issues in the future.  The total cost of this project is approximately $33,000.

IT Infrastructure

Technology is ever changing!  The IT needs of our camps and campers continues to grow and change year to year, and we are constantly working to modernize our camp systems, networks, WiFi, security and more.
