Current Goals
Furnishing the Gymnasium: As the Lord has blessed Camp Sankanac and grown its ministries, the need for a gymnasium facility became a pressing need! Last year, generous supporters were able to help raise a portion of the funds needed to complete the interior of the gymnasium in time for summer camp 2022 (which enabled us to minister to more day camp and basketball camp campers! THANK YOU!). This year, we are raising funds to furnish the gymnasium with much needed climbing wall equipment, bleachers, tables and chairs, audio and visual equipment, etc. Meeting this goal would not only mark the completion of this capital project, but would be a HUGE blessing to our campers, and the LOCAL guest groups, churches, organizations and sports leagues that have already been utilizing this facility! Our overall goal is to raise $50,000 to fully furnish the Gym by the end of 2022.
Camper Scholarship Fund: In addition to partnering with other local sending organizations (Summer Food Service Program, Chester County Youth and Family Services, Liberty Ministries, etc.), we offer over $40,000-$60,000 in scholarships and discounts to families in need so that they can send their children to our youth programs.
Our goal is to raise $25,000 during Amazing Raise towards these two needs, will you prayerfully consider helping us?
