Your Gift Makes Allendale Possible!
For over 75 years, Allendale has been a place where young people encounter Jesus, grow in their faith, and discover their purpose. Every cabin built, every meal served, and every moment around the campfire has been made possible because people like you believed in our mission. When you give today, you’re not just supporting a camp, you’re investing in life-change, equipping the next generation of Christ followers, and ensuring that Allendale’s ministry continues to impact lives for the next 75 years and beyond. Your partnership keeps this mission moving forward. Below are the different categories and funds you are welcome to give to. From donations big and small, Allendale is a 501(c)3 Non-profit organization and we are happy to provide you with whatever receipt you need for your giving.
General Fund
A gift to our General Fund strengthens every part of Allendale’s ministry. It keeps camps running, maintains our facilities, supports staff, and ensures we can continue creating Christ-centered experiences for thousands of youth each year. Your generosity meets real needs today and helps sustain the mission for tomorrow.

Memorial Fund
A gift to the Camp Allendale Memorial Fund is an excellent way to honor or memorialize a loved one. Memorial Fund gifts support projects that create a living legacy. Memorial projects go directly toward beautifying Allendal's property. Your memorial gift will be receipted to you, and an acknowledgement can be sent to someone you specify. Families are welcome to permanently memorialize their loved one's name by donating a brick paver to our memorial garden
Each quarter, our staff prepares a short list of required items for every newsletter. Your help with these items helps us continue working to ensure the quality of programming and youth safety. Scroll through the pictures on the left or refer to your most recent newsletter to see what is currently on our Needs List!
The Gift of Camp
(Camp Scholarships)
By giving toward camper scholarships, you help a child encounter Christ in a way that can impact their life for years to come, while also allowing camp resources to be used as intended for facilities, programs, and ministry needs. Each summer, 30–40 campers receive partial or full scholarships (some up to $440),donating and your generosity makes this possible.
Expansion Fund
We are constantly striving to be the best camp around for campers in Central Indiana and beyond. This requires significant capital beyond our budgeted dollars. See the projects below we are currently working on and consider giving to make
RENEW, REFRESH, RESTORE
reBULD The ARK
Cedar Chapel Update
The Ark and Cedar Chapel are two very different spaces that are under one roof. One space (Cedar Chapel) serves as our large group meeting space, where camps gather to worship, hear life-changing messages, and discover additional resources to help transform their faith. The Ark (gym) is our open-air playspace. This 40+ year-old 80’x160’ pole barn-style building is ready for a significant transformation. Through deliberate, intentional conversations about the structure's overall condition, we have determined that it requires substantial renovation. We anticipate that the long-term building renovation will cost $500,000.00. Listed below is the 2-phase process approach we are taking to this space:
​
Phase #1: Cedar Chapel
-
Audio & Visual Upgrades
-
Stage Facelift
-
Flooring Repairs
-
Wall & Ceiling Repairs
-
Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment
Phase #2: Ark (Gym)
-
Structural repairs
-
Concrete repairs
-
New roof

Since 2013, friends of Allendale have generously contributed over $1.4 million to expand our housing by 125 beds through Provision Lodge, the Duplex Cabin, and the Bunkhouse, completely DEBT-FREE! While these new buildings have grown our capacity, older facilities have been left behind. Over the past few years, the Renew, Refresh, Restore initiative has focused on upgrading these spaces, from new paint and carpeting to roof repairs, window replacements, and deck restoration. Significant improvements in the Dining Hall and Kitchen will also enhance storage and food production. Check out the progress we’ve made around camp!
Although this is a phase under "reBUILD The ARK", it’s an exciting part of our reBUILD the ARK campaign, and churches and campers have already given in incredible ways to jumpstart it! Join the community of supporters who are helping bring much-needed updates to the Cedar Chapel. Here’s a look at the progress we’ve made so far!
