From The Camp Director:

As the summer begins and camp starts, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey we've embarked upon together at Hanging Rock. The work we do is not just about providing a space for recreation; it's about creating a space for God to work in the lives everyone who comes to camp.  

Why Your Support Matters

At the heart of our camp's mission is the belief that every child deserves a chance to establish and strengthen their relationship with Christ. None of this would be possible without the generosity and dedication of our supporters.

Your contributions help us:

Maintain and improve facilities: Ensuring that our campgrounds, dorms, and activity areas are safe, welcoming, and equipped to handle the diverse needs of our campers.

How You Can Continue to Support Us

There are numerous ways to contribute to the ongoing success of our camp:

Donations

Monetary contributions are always appreciated and can be directed towards specific projects or general operations. Whether it's a one-time gift or a recurring donation, every dollar makes a difference.

Volunteer

Your time and talents are invaluable to us. Volunteering at camp, whether during the off-season for maintenance or during camp sessions as faculty, Kitchen, or maintenance helps us deliver enriching experiences to our campers.

Looking Ahead

As we look to the future, we are filled with optimism and excitement about the possibilities that lie ahead. Our vision includes improving facilitates, improving the parking and expanding the drive to have both an entrance and exit onto 263. developing new programs and continuing to provide a safe and nurturing environment for all campers. Adding handicapped accessible bathrooms to all 8 dorms and a new cabin that will be 100% handicapped accessible as well. 

The work we do at Hanging Rock is transformative, not only for the campers but for the entire community. The support we receive is the backbone of our operation, allowing us to create a space where children can learn, grow, and thrive. We invite you to continue to be a part of this journey, to support our mission, and to help us make a lasting impact on the lives of countless children.

Thank you for your continued generosity and commitment to the work of our camp.

Together, we can achieve remarkable things and ensure that future generations have the opportunity to experience God along the way.

Terry Evans Memorial Project

Our Tack Barn building is now finished! We hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony during our Celebrate Good Times event for the Terry Evans Memorial Building. We have been so impressed with the finished building, and we know it will be a great resource for our horse campers. As we transition into this summer season, we are looking forward to using it for Horse Camp.

 

Celebrate Good Times Highlights

We want to thank all of our supporting churches that helped with food booths, games, bringing water and pop. We had around 2,000 in attendance with raising over $10,000 that will be split between scholarships and the new dining hall addition.  What a great way to start our summer season.  Thank You. 

 

Handicapped Bathroom Update

Here are some pictures of the handicapped bathrooms at the Retreat Center. They are making great progress and are close to finish these soon. We are estimating for the Retreat Center handicapped bathrooms to be finished in the next couple of weeks. The next step will be to work on the handicapped bathrooms at the Bunkhouse. We are excited to see the finish product. We are grateful for the Wheeler Foundation and are excited to see these put to good use!
