Camper Sponsorship for Lake Ann Camp
This year, the weekly sponsorship check-in for memory verses and catechism questions, sermon notes, serving at church, and family worship happens at the beginning of Wednesday family night for both co-op and young disciples.
Sponsorship Details
Each camper will be given an individual fundraising page utilizing the Rally Up platform. Where you can customize your webpage and share it with friends, family, and sponsors as they pledge donations towards your spiritual discipline activities. This year, there are 23 weeks with 6 activities, along with 12 possible bonus activities, bringing the total number of activities for the year to 150.
You will be fundraising to gain sponsors who will pledge towards each activity you complete throughout the year. For example, if you complete 100 out of the 150 possible activities this year and had gained a sponsor on Rally Up who pledged to donate $0.50 per completed activity you will have earned $50.00 towards your camp expenses.
Please let Pastor Cody know your intentions to participate in the sponsorship platform and he will get your camper page set up and ready to share.
