Dear Friends of Holston Camp,

Greetings from your camp, Holston Camp.  So many exciting things have taken place and continue to occur in the life of “your camp”.  One of the pieces I truly love about this sacred place is how we have the opportunity to kindle new relationships, develop new disciples and grow Christian leaders.  

One of the major changes in the life of Holston Camp came in July of 2020.  It was voted and approved at that time for Holston Camp would become its own separate 501(c)3.  At that time we created our own governing board and became financially self-sufficient.  This opportunity has opened many new doors but has also created new challenges.

As a separate nonprofit, some may assume that Holston Camp is no longer affiliated with Holston Presbytery. This is not the case.  Holston Camp loves our brothers and sisters in Holston Presbytery and we cherish our relationship with all our churches.  We have entered a Covenant Relationship with the Holston Presbytery.  This means that we are still “the camp” for Holston Presbytery.  We participate in all Presbytery functions and the churches still call Holston Camp “their camp.”

It is people like you who have sent your children and grandchildren in the past  years that allow our dreams for this ministry to become a reality.  I hope this letter reminds you of the impact Holston Camp has had on you and your family and might continue to have currently.  Let me invite you to stay connected with the ministry of Holston Camp by including us as a recipient of your yearend, tax deductible giving via check or online.  

As you plan your giving, consider that your gift may be used in the following ways:

  • A gift of $20, covers camp store for one week for one camper.
  • A gift of $100, replaces two life vests at Wildcat Lake and Lake Lyons.
  • A gift of $200, provides for one week of Day Camp for a camper.
  • A gift of $500, pays for a week of healthy snacks for Day and Overnight campers.
  • A gift of $750, provides for one week of Overnight Camp for a camper.
  • A gift of $1,000, contributes to the renovation of the Rustic Bathhouse.
  • A gift of $2,250, contributes to the salary for one counselor for the summer season.
  • A gift of $5,000 contributes to maintenance equipment needed to keep “your camp” beautiful throughout the year.

In closing, we want to say that we cherish our friendship with you and truly appreciate your thoughts, prayers and gifts.
