2024 Projects

Partial amounts welcome, see Gift Acceptance Policy

If you are donating towards a specific project, please send us an email with the date, amount and designation because the reports for online donations can take up to 2 months before we can access them.

LPC Campership Program

Cost: $15,000 projected need for 2024 (Average of roughly $335 per Campership child)
Quantity: 45 Camperships
We need your support in order to continue ensuring that finances are not a barrier to campers encountering God at Lone Prairie Camp. Only 39% of our 2023 Camperships were covered by donations.

LPC Staff Support Fund

Cost: Approximately $30,500
Quantity: 6 eight week equivalent summer staff positions not covered by grant funding
“The labourer deserves his wages” (Luke 10:7 & 1 Timothy 5:18) and although Lone Prairie Camp is extremely grateful for the many individuals and families who volunteer with us each summer, we recognize that many others have tuition and other expenses in the fall and therefore need to earn money during the summer.

• $700 or $60/month covers 1 week of a summer staff position
• $2,800 or $235/month covers 1 month of a summer staff position
• $5,600 or $470/month covers an 8 week summer staff position
• Contributions towards our Endowment Fund help establish a long-term income source

Reshingling Camp House & Bathroom Building

Cost: $7,565

The camp house & bathroom buildings need to be reshingled this season to ensure we don’t end up with water damage. The labour is being generously donated, but we need donations towards the materials and disposal costs.

Climbing Wall

Cost: $4,220

As a part of a routine inspection, we were directed to do some additional testing on our climbing wall. The climbing wall passed on the required tests, but the tests were an unexpected expense.

Knowing that our climbing wall is now coming up on 30 years, LPC has also been collecting donations towards a replacement structure. We have already raised half of the roughly $75,000 such a structure would cost.

InstaCut 5.1

Cost: $1,275

We are so grateful each year to the amazing volunteers who cook our meals each week. Help us make their job a bit easier by donating towards this commercial vegetable and fruit slicer, dicer and wedger.

Bathroom Building Reno

Cost: $1,350

Another project we are hoping to accomplish this summer is renovating the bathrooms. Last year, we were blessed to be able to pour a new epoxy flooring (similar to the flooring in a pool change room) that is much easier to clean and improves the overall aesthetics of our bathroom. This year, we would like to finish the face lift by repainting the walls and ceiling, installing new light fixtures and mirrors, as well as updating some of our plumbing system. Updating the bathrooms would improve the quality of our camp and overall functionality of our facility.

Wet Waste Interceptor

Cost: $1,570

No one thinks about the plumbing…Until it doesn’t work. LPC uses a septic system and we therefore need to be extra careful about what goes down the sink.
Even small food particles can clog our kitchen sink, but this wet waste interceptor makes filtering out those food particles simple. No more clogged sinks!

Item Donations

Cost: Various

Do you have some items that you could donate to LPC? Please contact us to see if we could give your items a new home.
Here are a few items that we are currently specifically looking for:

• Washing Machines
• Guitars and Ukuleles (or $100 donation, for new guitar skill block for summer campers)
• Lawn Mowers
• Weed Wackers (or $100 donation)
• Power Tools

We need many volunteers with trades experience in order to tackle these projects. If you have carpentry, plumbing or electrical experience, please contact our office.
