Camping
is a year-round job and volunteers
and support are needed all year to make this ministry a success. Lake View thrives
because so many people give generously of their gifts, time, and money to
support Lake View's camping
ministry. We ask you to consider how you can partner with us in this exciting
ministry! Volunteers come in a variety of ages and all with different gifts
and abilities. If you have a heart for the camping ministry we can find a
place to use those gifts! Pray about it and see if God is calling you to be a
part of this growing ministry!
DONATIONS
Different
ways of giving allow donors to help Lake View financially
while targeting gifts to address particular needs. Here are some of the ways
your donation can support Lake View:
- Angel Tree
Camps - provides camp scholarships for kids who have or have had a parent
in prison
- Capital
Campaign Fund - supports building the new camp site
- Counselor
Support - used to
hire summer staff
- Endowment
Fund
- General
Camp Support - Funds used as
needed to help with the growing ministry. Currently, it costs more to
provide a week of camp to kids than they are being charged. General
support from churches, organizations, and individuals allows us to do
this and keep camp fees as low as possible for families.
- General
Scholarship Fund - provides camp scholarships for our church
camps
Checks can be made payable to Lake View Camps and sent to PO Box 836, Pella, IA 50219.
All contributions are tax deductible and you will
receive a receipt for tax purposes.

make a donation, e-mail or call (641) 628-2160.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
- Adult Camp Counselors. Each
summer Lake View holds a number
of camps that need volunteer counselors. Volunteer counselors are
needed to supplement Lake View's summer
staff, allowing the young people who attend camp to get lots of
individual attention.
- Mail Crew.
Throughout the year, Lake View needs
help mailing registration forms and newsletters. Please call or e-mail if you would like to help with the next
mailing.
- Skilled
Labor. As Lake View begins
planning for the new camp site, skilled labor will be needed. Lake View needs the
gifts of people who are talented in hands-on work like plumbing,
electrical work, carpentry, cement work, or any other special skills.
Please call or e-mail and let us know how
you are willing to help.
- Drivers. Each
year, Lake View hosts a
number of Angel Tree camps. Because many of the children attending
these camps are from low-income, single parent homes, Lake Views offers
transportation to and from camp for these children. Please call or
e-mail if you are willing to give of a day this
summer to transport kids. Campers come from all across the state of Iowa.
- Camp Nurse or Doctor.
We
need certified nurses or doctors who are willing to spend a week during
the summer at camp as “Camp Nurse or Doctor.”
- Fill Back
Packs. Each
Angel Tree camper receives a back pack when they get to camp. We need
volunteers to fill back packs with things campers will need during the
week like towel, shampoo, soap, camera, Bible, etc. The back packs and
Bibles are provided by Prison Fellowship. Please call or e-mail if you or your organization is willing to help
with this project.
PRAYER!
Prayer is one
way that everyone can be involved with this ministry. Prayer support is
always needed and appreciated! Please pray for this ministry, for God’s
guiding hand as we move forward, for staff, and for all who attend camps.
