Coronavirus Relief Fund

How has the Corona Virus affected Prescott Pines camp?

I am so amazed at how fast things are changing in our world! 

Less than three weeks ago, the camp had a full calendar for spring and we were excited about the registrations for both Man Camp and our summer program camps. Our major concern was finding summer staff! 

When we learned that there were limits to the amount of people that could assemble in one place, we immediately lost 33 groups (through the end of May). There would be no income for two and a half months and all of our regular bills to pay. This is a revenue loss of over $185,000.

We established ten guidelines for dealing with the Corona Virus. One of those guidelines was that we would do whatever was necessary to protect the camp. Another was to do what was best for the staff, even if it hurts.

We have a staff (full and part time) of 41 people. Our leadership team made the decision to furlough all of our 28 part time and outdoor education employees. The full time staff took a 30% cut in pay. We also had the challenge of having 9 volunteer couples staying at the camp. 

We also shut down (think winterized) most of our buildings. We have inventoried our perishable and frozen food. We spent one day making up food baskets for all of the staff and volunteers, then gave more food to other people in the community. We have 2 – 3 phone contacts with every staff member each week. We surveyed the volunteers concerning their personal situations and found that four of the couples had no other place to go. We have invited those four couples to stay at the camp until the situation stabilizes. 

Tonight at five o’clock, we will go “dormant” as a camp. Over 95 % of our budget comes from people coming to camp. Now we have lost all of our income through the end of May and summer is obviously in question. We have cut expenses by furloughing staff and cutting every expense that we can think of. We have some savings, have applied for a small business loan, a line of credit at the bank and will apply for a loan tied to the stimulus package that was just passed by Congress.

We truly miss the partnership of churches coming to celebrate the Lord and worship in an atmosphere that is only found at camp. We hurt for the individuals who would have made decisions for Christ or heard how the Lord could have provided for their needs while here at camp.

Every day we meet as a staff and pray for our role as an asset to the local church. Please join us in praying for Prescott Pines Camp.

RV Haven

We love our volunteers here at Prescott Pines. 

Without volunteers we would not be where we are today in offering this property to help people experience God. Their sacrificial service to this camp has made such a positive impact upon our staff and our guests.

We want to do something special for them.

We have asked our volunteers (many who bring and stay in their own RV's/trailers) what would make your stay better and easier and we have heard over and over that a space just for them to meet, do laundry, get clean would be awesome. 

So... we are going to create a space that serves them as they serve here PPC.

​

Above you can see photos of our existing volunteer building.  It is in need of a remodel to make this a special place for our volunteers.  We have already started on the project and have a great plan.  We just need to the funding to complete it.  It will have  a large meeting space, three bathrooms with showers and a laundry facility. 

Our goal is to raise $20,000 to make this project happen.  Won't you consider partnering with us as in this great opportunity to do something special for those who do something special for Prescott Pines year in and year out?
