​2020-2021: Press On

Dear Camp Perkins Campers, Families, and Community, 

Thank you for the love and support you have shown to Camp Perkins over the last few months during the pandemic. The staff and board of camp are so grateful for your gifts and prayers to help camp through this difficult time. This ministry would not exist without the love, prayers, financial gifts, volunteer time, and participation of supporters. You are the soul of the ministry.

Currently, Camp Perkins is facing unprecedented challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a harmful impact on the ministry and finances of camp, resulting in a $100,000 projected income loss for 2020. With concerns about attendance at winter events and uncertainty about next summer, we are anticipating losses to continue into 2021.

Camp Perkins needs your help to Press On through this difficult time. As believers, we keep our eyes on Christ, who makes a way for us to Press On through all circumstances. Philippians 3:14 says, “I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.”

I believe God has great plans for the ministry at Camp Perkins. Through your gifts and prayers, you can help camp Press On through the challenges, knowing that God is all powerful, in all circumstances. You can help Camp Perkins continue to be a haven of creation where people escape the everyday, connect with Christ, and experience transformation.

We will update the Gifts Received information at the top of this page each week. As we continue to pray for you, we ask for your prayers in return, and for your continued support and generosity towards this ministry we all love deeply.

You can invest in the future of the ministry by giving through our website
 or by mailing a check to:
Camp Perkins, 219 S. River St., Ste 203, Hailey, ID 83333

Value of Camp

From Parents:
"Hats off to the most wonderful and dedicated counselors. They went above and beyond in helping the campers and everybody else they came in contact with. Very professional. They made all feel welcome and valued. They are great role models for all the youth."

"My child has visited many church camps. Yours is the most spiritual. She loved First Word and special prayer time with her cabin."

"I feel like my little guy has had a whole new world opened up to him. He came home and immediately started teaching his little sister all the camp songs."

"Savannah didn’t want to leave and has asked every night if she can go back next summer."

"My son has never been one for going to camp. He is a homebody! BUT....he said this was by far the best camp he has ever been to and I think if he could have stayed the rest of the summer he would have. For days after he returned from camp he kept saying how he wished he was still there. This is a VERY high compliment from my son. He loved his fellow cabin mates and ABSOLUTELY LOVED HIS COUNSELOR!"
​
"My child had a rough year. She came home from camp a different person. Her spirit was renewed and rejuvenated. She learned great life skills at camp and I’ve seen her use them often since she’s been home. She can’t wait to go back!!!!"

From Campers:
​
"My counselor was so entertaining! She taught me about God in fun ways."

"I love the acceptance and the positivity."

"I learned that Jesus will come back one day."

"I loved all the singing that I learned here. Swimming in the lake was also a great time. Sleeping outside was cold and fun. My favorite part was our river rafting. I am going to come back next year."

"My counselor helped me understand the verses."

"I learned that Jesus is our refuge and we can trust him because he is perfect, ever present, almighty, compassionate, and eternal."

"I love how happy and energetic all the counselors are. They really help motivate me to try new things."
