IPD event crushed it this year!

Huge thanks to IPD USA for choosing Gales Creek Camp as beneficiary of their annual Garage Sale event.

This year they raised a record $6,500! Not only that, they inspired two incredible donors (thanks, Dan and Greg!) to MATCH $6,000 of that for a grand total of $12,500!

We were blown away by the amount of joy and love evident at this event.

Convergint's Social Responsibility Day comes to GCC

And left us astounded!

One of Portland's local global tech powerhouses reached out to us this spring with an idea. They wanted to send 150 people to camp to do anything we needed.

On June 5, they came to camp and did some serious work, from painting all the buildings to sanding and staining all the natural wood benches, and from installing new (expensive) fancy door locks to mounting our screen and projector. They also inspected our fire systems and replaced all the batteries in our smoke detectors! Oh, and they hauled off some old timber and donated a BBQ grill! All the materials and supplies were donated, too, by Convergint and their partners. Wow.

Camp Cleanup Day was one for the books

Thanks to all the volunteers who rolled their sleeves up and got to work! We got it ALL done!

Plus, LiUNA Local 737 showed up for Cleanup Day this year!

We learned that if you want to get some heavy lifting done around camp, you call the hardworking folks at LiUNA. Thanks to a hometown connection, a crew from LiUNA came to camp during Camp Cleanup Day - and they brought some toys. They transformed the area outside the Dining Hall into a beautiful outdoor eating space for the campers and staff. You gotta see it to believe it.

A big, big thank you to the Junction City Lions Club for their amazing gift of a brand new John Deere zero turn mower!

We use the meadow for all kinds of things like field games, kickball, campfires and more, but our old mower deck was falling apart it.

Then the Lions answered the call! Thanks to the Junction City Lions Club for covering the cost and the Legend Lynn Coon for shepherding the process from beginning to end. That mower will last us 20+ years, and we'll be grateful the whole time. They also brought 3 wheelbarrows! Handyman can hardly contain his excitement.

Thank you to all our amazing donors who participated in our FIRST EVER Venmo fundraising campaign.

It was a lot of fun and we raised enough to buy some cool new equipment for the campers this summer.

If you participated, now you're a GCC donor, and that means you forever own a little bit of camp. Now you're part of the legacy, 73 summers and counting.

The 4th Annual Colton Henry Golf Tournament was sold out success again!

This little tournament, held annually in memory of a former camper we lost too soon, has been growing each year. Colton's family continues to inspire those around them to support GCC.

Thanks to everyone who sponsored, played, and donated!

Are you inspired yet? So much love to the kids of GCC!

We are so thankful to everyone who contributes so much, in so many different ways, to make this camp possible. Gales Creek Camp is a place of awesome positive energy that can recharge kids who carry a burden that hard to understand without living it.

Want to do a little bit, too?
