Camp Sponsorship Drive

With the hope that Sherbrooke Lake Camp will still be able to run this summer, Christian Development is launching this year’s sponsorship drive. Last year we raised $3,767. Thanks again for your generous support! This year we have 20 adults, youth and children asking for sponsorships for a total of $3,810 in fees. To be clear, not all of these people attend Orchard Valley’s worship but they all have been involved in at least one of our programs at some point, especially previous church camp sponsorships. Please consider making a donation to ensure we can continue this ministry! If you mail a cheque or put it in the church’s exterior mail slot, please write on the memo line that it is for camp sponsorships. If you send the church an e-transfer, please mention what it is for when you contact Theresa. If you use the “Donate” button on Orchard Valley’s website, pick “General” for the Fund but type “Camp Sponsorships” in the Message box. Note that any money not used this year for camp sponsorships will be held for next year’s sponsorships.
