DONATE

Please Consider Partnering with Us

The ministry of Lone Prairie Camp depends on the generous donations of many people and organizations.  We are a registered charity and therefore donations are eligible for a charitable tax receipt (worth a 50% tax refund for Albertans).

One-time donations are accepted through PayPal Giving Fund Canada or via mail.  Please make cheques out to Lone Prairie Camp (RR1, Ferintosh, AB, T0B 1M0) and clearly indicate to whom we should write the tax receipt. If you are uncomfortable using PayPal, you can use CanadaHelps.org or ATBcares.com but please note that these websites charge LPC significant credit card transaction fees.

For an even more tax efficient donation, consider donating securities (ie. stocks, mutual funds, etc) from a taxable/margin trading account via CanadaHelps.

Monthly Donation

There is no better job than being a Cabin Leader. Let’s ignore the crazy hours and thankless tasks for a moment. If you ask anyone who has been a camper, the activities and games are fun, but they mostly remember their Cabin Leader. What an amazing privilege to impact these young lives for eternity!

For a variety of reasons, many of us are not able to serve as Cabin Leaders during the summer, but there are various other ways to partner with this important ministry.

A sincere thank you to our staff, volunteers, donors and prayer warriors who each contribute to facilitating encounters with the Triune God.

Note: PayPal Giving Fund Canada (unlike CanadaHelps, ATBcares.com and many other options) charge charities no transaction fees for online credit card donations while providing an instant tax receipt for the donor. Please consider using PayPal Giving Fund Canada to ensure your entire donation impacts camper lives!

The ministry of LPC is able to continue because of the ongoing support of individuals and families like you.  Thank you for prayerfully considering financially supporting Lone Prairie Camp.

We are once again offering our annual gift catalogue with various projects which we would like to tackle in the upcoming year to maintain and improve our programs and facilities. This year we have several larger items towards which you can donate and we are also encouraging you to consider “adopting” a camper by contributing towards our Campership program.

For course, donations towards our general fund will also be gratefully accepted!

A huge thank you to our many generous donors! Here are a few of the projects we were able to accomplish in 2021 because of your support:

  • Generous Staff Support donations which allowed us to offer some certainty to our staff during uncertain times
  • Folding tables & chairs used for outdoor meals during COVID and available for future events
  • Winterizing the Penner Staff Lounge with insulation and a gas fireplace (on track to finish before summer 2022)
  • Significant progress on our Crystal Block bathroom reno (on track to finish before summer 2022)
  • $13,259 contributed to LPC’s endowment fund
  • Early payments toward’s LPC’s BGCA loan

Altogether, your support allowed us to run 6 weeks of summer camp, subsidize 38 camper registrations and finish our 2020-21 fiscal year with a balanced budget.
