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, meal, and campfire moment exists because people like you believe in our mission. When you give, you’re investing in life-change and equipping the next generation of Christ-followers. Your support sustains the ministry today and ensures it continues for decades to come. As a 501(c)3 nonprofit, Allendale can provide any receipt you may need for your giving.
Where Does My Donation Go?
Your gift to Allendale’s General Fund strengthens every part of camp ministry. It keeps programs running, maintains facilities, supports staff, and ensures thousands of youth can continue encountering Jesus each year. General gifts meet immediate needs and sustain Allendale’s mission for the future.
Expansion & Facilities
It takes a monumental effort to keep Allendale in the excellent shape it is. Giving to this fund will help make improvements across camp! From painting, carpeting, roof repairs, window replacements, deck restorations, and MUCH more, your gift helps renew key buildings, expand camper capacity, and keep Allendale’s facilities strong for all campers and guests.

Needs List Items:
Each quarter, our staff shares a short list of needed items to help support safe, high-quality programming. Your generosity directly impacts our youth and our mission.
​​
Camper Scholarships: Giving to this fund provides partial or full scholarships so every child can experience camp, regardless of financial barriers. Each summer, 30–40 campers receive scholarships (some up to $440). Your generosity helps kids encounter Christ in life-changing ways while preserving camp resources for programs and facilities.
​
Memorial Fund: A gift to the Memorial Fund is a meaningful way to honor or remember a loved one. These contributions support beautification and legacy projects across the camp. Donors may also choose to memorialize a loved one permanently by purchasing a brick paver for the Lake Marie Memorial Garden. A receipt and if desired, an acknowledgment will be provided.
