Make A Gift - Ewalu Camp & Retreat Center

Your gift helps in so many ways at Ewalu: to strengthen the faith and relationships of young people who come to summer camp, the adults who come for a retreat and others who take part in Ewalu’s ministries, including Day Camp programs. Our mission is to serve as a place apart to connect the Word of God with the world of God. We do this in our outdoor setting with meaningful programs like summer camps and year-round retreats, made possible because of your financial support. Thank you for your support and prayers!

Your gift to Ewalu’s General Fund has an immediate impact on campers! The General Fund supports so many things at camp, including utilities, property maintenance, summer staff salaries, programming costs, food, equipment, and much more. We use these funds to keep the “everyday” things going at camp, taking care to use your gifts in the most efficient way we can so that God’s ministry can reach as many people as possible through Ewalu.

Your gift to Ewalu’s Campership Fund helps make camp more affordable for ALL kids by subsidizing the true cost of a week at Ewalu, which is now more than $800. Thanks to donations to our Campership Fund, we can cut that cost by 1/3 for ALL campers! For some families, that reduced cost is still an obstacle, and we can use the Campership Fund to lower the out-of-pocket cost even more and even bring some campers to Ewalu free of charge if the need is great. Your donations allow us to keep our promise: No child is ever turned away at Ewalu due to financial need.
