BUILT BY GENERATIONS // SUSTAINED BY FAITH

Trout exists because of the support and contributions of thousands of people. From the tireless efforts of the camp’s founders in the 1945, to the camp staff serving every summer, this is a meeting place with God that has been built by God’s people. We hope you’ll consider giving to Trout Lake Camps and joining the generations of others who have helped make this a meeting place with God.

Ways To Give

Did You
Know?

At Trout, new facilities, remodels, and program areas aren’t funded by camper fees—they’re made possible entirely through independent fundraising and the incredible dedication of volunteers. Nearly every building and activity space on the grounds exists because of generous supporters who believe in Trout’s mission.

WE ARE TROUT projects // monthly giving options

Since 2012, Project 365 has been an amazing dollar-a-day program to help facilitate general upkeep at Trout. These funds have gone towards re-staining cabins, painting doors, adding air conditioners, road improvements, and just about anything you could think of around our grounds.

Looking to the future, we are expanding this amazing program. You will now be able to designate your monthly donations into three new categories:

Project 365

Support reoccurring maintenance needs and projects for a dollar a day.

Project Next

Invest in new medium-to-large building projects, remodels, and activity areas.

Project Scholarships

Contribute to camper scholarships so more kids can come to camp.

All three projects will receive exclusive updates about your project of choice, with special gifts, podcasts, photos, and project specific updates about what’s happening at Trout.

Many families choose to give memorial gifts to Trout Lake Camps—a place where countless lives have been changed and hearts have met God. Your gift honors loved ones while helping that same life-changing impact continue for generations to come.

Vehicle Donation

We are always looking for mini vans and pickups under 100,000 miles to meet our maintenance and programming needs. Vehicles should be in good working order. Donating a vehicle is simple and tax deductible. If you have any questions please contact us.

Planning Your Will & Trust

We provide a free Estate Planning Guide so whatever your plans may be, we want to encourage you along the way. A good next step would be a free one-on-one consultation with our planned giving team to discuss your situation and goals.
