Camper Sponsorship for Lake Ann Camp
Become a Sponsor in this Fundraising A-Thon to support campers as they develop spiritual disciplines.
By making a pledge per activity, your donation will support your campers of choice as they strive to raise funds for their Lake Ann Camp goals.
Sponsorship Details
This year, each camper has 23 weeks to complete 6 disciplines, such as attending Wednesday night family night with a Bible, reciting a memory verse, reciting a new city catechism question and answer, taking sermon notes, serving at church, and participating in family worship. In addition to 12 Bonus activities, this would bring the total number of activities each camper can complete to 150.
Sponsorship Pledges
Pledges are per activity and operate like a bike a-thon or a read a-thon; your pledge is multiplied by the number of spiritual discipline activities the camper completes this year. In determining how much you would like to pledge for every activity the participant completes, here is an example: Camper A checks in weekly and completes 100 out of the possible 150 activities, if you pledge $0.50 per activity, your donation would be $50.00 you can also set a max donation limit to not exceed as well.

Attendance with Bible
What: attend Wednesday night family night in either the co-op or young disciples age-appropriate group with your Bible in hand.
Why: Family night is a great place for the whole family to learn more about our great God through the catechism lessons. Be involved in disciple formation and fellowship with other families of believers.
How: Campers will get a completed activity check for each week they attend with their Bible.
Family Worship (x5)
What: Showing a parent-approved check that their camper participated in family worship 5 days that week. This could be completing their small group bible journal, reading the bible, listening to a bible passage, or whatever elements the family does for worship together. It is up to the parents to determine the appropriate level of engagement for each of their children.
Why: We are all called to meditate on God’s Word day and night. Parents are responsible for teaching their children. Together, we can encourage this weekly habit of being in God’s Word and being together as each family member grows.
How: There are several places that a parent can approve by signing off on the small group Bible journal, co-op workbook, or other document. Verified at check-in during the family night.

What: Each week’s memory question pairs with the co-op new city catechism question in their lesson. There is a very well-developed and helpful app for this catechism found here: https://newcitycatechism.com/mobile-apps/
Why: Memorizing the catechism teaches any believer a good, sound, and accurate summary of the whole teaching of Scripture that they can apply to every area of their lives.
How: Memorize the week's memory question and recite it during check-in at family night.
Sermon Notes
What: A written document (journal, notepad, etc.) that contains individual notes for the past week's Sunday morning sermon.
