Donating to Our Ministry

From the very beginning, Hope Valley Day Camp has run almost solely on free-will donations.

Our mission is to offer a Bible camp experience to every child, regardless of their financial situation. We are deeply grateful for the support of churches, businesses, and individual donors who share our vision of bringing hope and joy to our community. Read more about our financial stewardship here.

Supporting Our Full-Time Staff

At Hope Valley Day Camp, our full-time staff members do not receive a traditional salary. Instead, they rely on the Lord’s provision and the gracious support of donors who believe in the work of the ministry. This model allows them to serve wholeheartedly, trusting that God will meet their needs through the generosity of others.

Please note: Gifts to support our staff cannot be processed through Hope Valley Day Camp. Instead, financial support for staff must be directed through MSC Canada, a registered organization that handles personal giving for missionaries and ministry workers. By donating through MSC Canada, you ensure that your gift reaches our staff directly and securely.
