How you can help
Summer camp at Sugar Creek is a truly special experience, from morning mist on the bluffs to discovering new creatures along the creek and sharing laughs around the campfire. It is a place where kids can grow in faith, build confidence, and find joy.
Your donation makes this possible for campers and families, ensuring everyone can attend regardless of financial situation. Together, we can help more kids unplug, connect with God, and take home faith, hope, and love that lasts a lifetime. Thank you for being part of this ministry.
