Future Foundations
Building a legacy that enriches future generations
The TeePee/Trading Post Building Project
Join our Yearly Goal: $1.875M
Approximately 1,500 families experience a meaningful vacation at CAMP-of-the-WOODS each summer. The Future Foundations campaign needs to raise $1.875 million per year for 4 years. If every family contributes $650 or more per year, we will reach our goal!
Matching Gift Opportunity: Multiply the Power of your Gift!
Donor Commitment: Matching up to $500,000!
Thanks to a generous donor, every contribution made will be matched dollar-for-dollar. If we meet this match by March 2025, Phase 1 and a portion of Phase 2 will be funded. Your doubled donation enables an effective investment in future generations!
Creating Future Impact
Future Foundations is a campaign for the TeePee/Trading Post Building Project. This project is focused on shaping tomorrow by building upon the foundations of today. This project is not just about a structure; it’s about honoring the past while securing the future.
It represents the collective goal of the COTW community committed to creating a lasting legacy that enriches future generations - both personally and spiritually.
Creating a Space for Family Flourishing
To continue its legacy while expanding its impact, the new building will transform into a vibrant, multifunctional space that serves the diverse needs of our year-round members (including Conference Season), fostering family connections and spiritual growth for years to come.
The new building will be a significant ministry multiplier where large groups of people can gather for fellowship, individuals can seek solitude with God and dive into His Word, Chaplains can meet with mentees, old and new friends can meet in the new coffee shop, families can celebrate birthdays, and people can continue to enjoy the tradition of penny candy and sticky buns after Chapel.
