Dear Marion,

At United Church Camps, Inc. (UCCI), we stand at the intersection of tradition and transformation. Our mission is to create spaces for belonging and growth through outdoor experiences. Across Moon Beach, Daycholah Center, and Cedar Valley, we’ve touched countless lives by fostering deep spiritual connections and nurturing faith within our vibrant community.

As we honor the legacy of our camps, we recognize the need to evolve and expand our impact beyond the traditional church camp setting.

Roots: Grounded in Tradition

For decades, UCCI has provided sanctuary for those seeking peace, reflection, and personal growth. These roots are our foundation—a place where faith, family, and fun come together. But staying true to our roots also means using that foundation to grow.

Wings: Soaring into the Future

We are exploring new possibilities to bring our ministry to life in fresh ways. While our vision is still forming, we see potential in expanding youth and family programs, adding flexible participation options, and offering innovative faith formation experiences.

We are committed to making these new initiatives a reality, guided by feedback from recent surveys and focus groups, as well as pilot programs to shape the path forward.

Now, we stand at a pivotal moment. Our Roots Goal is to raise $200,000 to sustain the ministry that has brought transformation to so many. Our Wings Goal is to raise $325,000 to fund new initiatives, helping us engage with new communities and expand our impact.

Your generosity will allow us to strengthen our legacy and ensure UCCI continues to be a place of renewal and inspiration for generations to come.

I humbly ask you to prayerfully consider donating. Your gift will help nurture the roots of our ministry and give us the wings to soar into a future full of possibilities. To learn more about Roots & Wings, please visit our website.

Thank you for your support, and please keep UCCI in your prayers as we embark on this journey.

With blessings and peace,

Jim

Land Acknowledgment

UCCI’s campuses, Cedar Valley, Daycholah Center, and Moon Beach are located on the ancestral homelands of the Ho-Chunk, Menominee, and Ojibwa Nations. We acknowledge these First Nations communities who have stewarded this land throughout the generations and pay respect to their elders past and present.
