Join Us in Making a Difference!!

Whether you’ve been part of Camp Sumatanga before or you’re just learning about us, your involvement can help shape the future of our community. Together, let’s build a space where campers young and old can connect, grow, and thrive for years to come.  Our goal is to raise $150,000 to support current and future projects.

   Your 2025 Gifts will support camp projects like

  • Cabin Renovations - Last year's campaign helped us build-out Pool Camp Cabins 5 and 7 to make them ADA compliant.  This year, we aim to complete Pool Camp Cabin #7 to be fully ADA-compliant, including the removal of steps, installation of a new ramp and hand railing, and other key accessibility upgrades. These improvements will ensure that individuals of all abilities can fully participate in the camp experience. Estimated cost: $60,000
  • Lodge Renovations - The Lodge at Camp Sumatanga is a favorite retreat space for many of our guests, including our beloved friends from the Emmaus community. To keep it welcoming and comfortable for all who gather here, we’re making much-needed updates — starting with replacing the stall walls in the bathrooms for improved privacy, safety, and durability. Your gift will help preserve this special space as a place of rest, reflection, and spiritual renewal for generations to come.. Estimated Cost: $7,000
  • HVAC - To continue providing a welcoming, restful experience for all who visit, we’re replacing aging heating and cooling units in the North Hall. This space serves as overflow dorm rooms and reliable climate control ensures guests stay safe, comfortable, and focused on what matters most — spiritual growth, community, and connection with God. Your gift helps us maintain our facilities with care and hospitality in every season. Estimated Cost: $11,000
  • Painting  - We’re giving some of Camp Sumatanga’s most beloved spaces a well-deserved refresh! Pool Camp Dinning Hall is receiving a fresh coat of paint to brighten up the space, while the Retreat Center is undergoing both interior and exterior painting to enhance their beauty and longevity. These updates not only improve the appearance of our facilities but also reflect the care and hospitality we offer to every guest.. Estimated Cost: $17,000
  • Timber Management - The beautiful forests that surround Camp Sumatanga are a vital part of the camp experience — offering peace, shade, and a deep connection to God’s creation. To protect this sacred landscape, we are actively engaging in timber management to combat an outbreak of pine beetles, which threaten the health of our trees and surrounding ecosystem. This necessary work includes removing affected trees and preventing further spread to preserve the natural beauty and safety of camp for future generations.  Estimated Cost: $35,000
  • East Wing Removal - As part of our continued commitment to safety and stewardship, the East Wing building is being demolished.  After a throrough review, our Asseet Management Committee determined the structure to be unsafe due to significant mold, failing HVAC systems, and serious structural concerns. While the future of this space is still being discerned, we’re confident that it will eventually reflect what best serves our current and future program needs. Removing this deteriorating building is the first step toward creating something more functional, welcoming, and mission-aligned for the generations to come. Estimated Cost: $30,000
