PINE VALLEY BIBLE CONFERENCE (AKA PINE VALLEY CAMP)

SERVING LAWRENCE COUNTY

AMOUNT DONATED: $117,483.70

We are a year-round faith-based camp featuring a residential summer camping program and other year-round programs for at-risk and underprivileged youth ages 6-15 from Lawrence County and the surrounding area. We are one of very few camps that targets this underserved group whose families' income falls below the federal poverty guidelines.

Our mission is "to rebuild broken lives through Jesus Christ." By teaching life skills, life principles, some basic job skills and presenting the gospel message, we aim to be a place of fun, hope, healing and transformation that prepares these youth to become healthy responsible adults.

Programs Supported by Your Donations

You can designate your donation to support building the dining hall, supplement summer staff salaries, or support our summer camp programs. Summer camp runs from mid-June to mid-August and features many fun activities including swimming, hiking, fishing, archery, canoeing, basketball, wall climbing, biking, horseback riding, and more. We teach life skills and life principles like teamwork, taking personal responsibility, and how to make wise decisions. We teach basic job skills like cooking, cleaning, and landscaping to select teens. We share the gospel message of Jesus Christ and give the children the opportunity to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior without pressuring them. We do not practice discrimination in any way. To be competitive, we've raised our summer counselor salaries, an additional $60,000 commitment; donations to support summer staff will help cover this. The dining hall serves as the heart and hub of the camp and this building will allow us to seat 300 at one time and serve more youth. We have raised $3 million of the $5 million needed and completed the foundation work. We will continue with construction through the summer and beyond. All dining hall donations are important to the completion of this project.

THANK YOU for supporting Pine Valley!

Needs that Cannot beMet without Your Help

Inflation continues to be a major issue in all areas of camp operations. The cost per camper increased last year to $950 per child. Additionally, the construction and materials budget for the dining hall rose 66% and issues always arise to add to the total cost. Grants from foundations and companies continue to be extremely competitive with the rise of many other causes and issues and more organizations applying for somewhat limited grant funds. We are most appreciative to all of our donors.
