EXCITING NEWS! After finishing our first new Guest Group Lodge and receiving our occupancy permit on January 26, we are moving forward with the next Guest Group Lodge. With God’s blessing and your help, we finished the first lodge debt free with some money left over to start the next project. Amazing!
The old Fireside Lodge which served as the original chapel at camp and most recently as a bunk house was taken down to make room for the new and improved Fireside Lodge. Work crews are already busy at work prepping the site for the new foundation walls which will arrive in July. We hope to have the new lodge finished next spring.
WE NEED YOUR HELP! A donor family has committed a 2 for 1 matching gift to help complete the next Guest Group Lodge debt free. For every dollar we raise, they will match with two dollars up to $200,000. That means if we raise $100,000 they will match with $200,000 for a total of $300,000. Your gift will be tripled simply by responding to this need!
I’m happy to share that lead donations towards this matching gift have already generated $64,000 which means we are only $36,000 short of the full match. Praise the Lord! To give securely online click on the link above or mail your gift directly to camp and include “Matching Gift” in the memo section of your check. Thank you in advance for standing with us once again to meet this need!
As we celebrate our 50th Anniversary this year, I’m excited about all that God has done through the ministry of Camp Orchard Hill over the years and all that He will continue to do!

Sometimes we wonder if what we do really matters. Does our support really make a difference in the life of a young person long term? I believe it does! I’d like to share with you the story of a boy named Ray. He came to camp because someone like you cared enough to provide a scholarship for him to attend.
Camper Testimonials
I really want to come back this year but we do not have enough money to pay for the full price. I really like the counselors. I’m a lot closer to God. I pray every night and I have 30 minutes devoted to reading my Bible. I hope you really let me come back to camp this year.
I would like to tell you how much I enjoyed staying at Camp Orchard Hill last summer. Words cannot describe how much fun I had and all that I learned. It allowed me to make new friends, become involved in sports and other activities, but also to become closer to God and his teachings. I loved how every morning we went into the prayer hall to listen to spiritual music and learn about Jesus. In all, I had a great time at camp and I hope to attend this year.
Camp was a great experience for these reasons. The week that I spent last summer was unforgettable. I became closer to Christ and I learned so much from his teachings. The speakers that were featured during the week really were an inspiration to me. I also loved the activities that we did. Everything was so fresh and full of energy. And, what a better way to start off a great week of camp then to make new friends. I have met girls at camp that I am still close with today. No one ever feels left out here. Those things are what makes camp the best it can be and the things that I loved.
