How Can I Help the Year-Round Ministry at Cedarkirk?

Gifts and Donations
Cedarkirk relies upon the generosity of churches and individuals to carry out its mission and ministry to be a place apart.  Please consider making a secure online donation to support Cedarkirk by clicking here.  You can designate your donation or give towards the general mission work of the camp and conference center.  If you would like more information about giving to Cedarkirk or about the ministry, please contact Executive Director, John Reiter.

Events
Please consider attending a Cedarkirk sponsored event and encouraging others from your church or community to attend with you.  You can find a list of upcoming events here.  One of the biggest ways that you can help us is to schedule an event.  Whether it is a congregational family retreat, small group event, birthday party, group building event, or even a family reunion, guests utilizing our facilities helps us realize our mission statement.  To see available weekends for the near future click here. 

People Power
Cedarkirk has numerous projects around camp that groups could adopt and help make a reality.  Projects range from grounds work (clearing trails and brush) to painting (interiors and exteriors of buildings)  to facility improvement and construction.  Groups of any size and composition (youth, men, women, families) are invited to contact the camp office to find the project that matches your group’s interests and skills.  Adopting a project strengthens your group through community building and a shared experience as well as enhances your camp and conference center.  Individuals and families can also volunteer to help as a host on weekends, as a publicity liaison with your church, or with mailings, light maintenance, etc.

Friends
The Friends of Cedarkirk have been invaluable in the success of this ministry.  From supporting programs, hosting weekends, and contributing hours of their time, the Friends have truly made Cedarkirk a possibility. 

Remembering Cedarkirk
As we look to the future and consider long-range site improvements, we will rely on the generosity of churches and individuals to make these dreams a reality.  We have received memorial gifts in the past that have had a profound impact on our ministry.  Please consider remembering Cedarkirk in your will.  We also have a number of facility improvement projects and new buildings planned that only lack funding.  A Cedarkirk representative would be happy to meet with you or your church to discuss our facility improvement plans.

You may be able to help the ministry of Cedarkirk by "recycling" items that you no longer use:

• an electric kiln for arts & crafts projects
• foam noodles for pool activities and team exercises
• board games for rainy days
• playground balls or recreation equipment
• digital camera
• arts & crafts supplies

Wish List
To keep our costs down for retreats and camps we rely on donations to make our ministry available to everyone.  Sometimes we are unable to purchase all the items we need and are asking for donations.  Listed below are the items we need and the approximate cost per item.
