What We’re Building Towards
We are carefully stewarding several key financial goals to ensure Camas Meadows remains a vibrant, life-giving place for ministry.
Our goals include strengthening long-term financial stability by growing reliable recurring donations so we can plan and serve with confidence; funding essential infrastructure projects, like a new well, that will sustain our facilities and campers for generations to come; maintaining scholarship resources so every child and family can access camp regardless of ability to pay; providing clear, faithful transparency with our donors so they can see how their gifts meet immediate needs, enable ministry growth, and show how God is at work through our community and the resources entrusted to us.
Our goals are big, but God is bigger.
Why Transparency Matters
Transparency is central to faithful stewardship. Our donors, supporters, families, and church partners place trust in Camas Meadows to use resources responsibly and in ways that advance our mission. Being open about our finances, program outcomes, and operational practices honors that trust, strengthens accountability, and fosters a spirit of partnership. Transparency also helps us learn and improve: when people can see where resources are allocated and what results we achieve, we gain valuable feedback that guides better decisions for programming, facilities, and ministry impact.
