Donations, Gifts and Volunteers

“How can we help?” This is a question we are often asked by friends of Camp Johnsonburg . In addition to financial gifts, the ministry has been blessed over the years by “in-kind” gifts of equipment, vehicles and services. These gifts save the ministry thousands of dollars and often provide the camp with equipment or resources that it could not otherwise afford or obtain. Donations, gifts and volunteers make a huge difference in the day to day ministry of Camp Johnsonburg. Please consider how you might support the ministry.

There are many ways that you can support camp Johnsonburg...

Donations:

You can either mail in a check, or send a payment with your credit card through our secure account found on our web site. Click here to donate by credit card. New this year is the opportunity to give on a monthly basis.
Check out the “Giving Tree”. This is a unique opportunity to give and have a leaf engraved on our tree in the dining hall at camp.
Will – You can provide a bequest in your will for a dollar amount, percentage of your estate, or a residuary amount to Johnsonburg Presbyterian Center. The funds will be used for the long-term financial strength of the ministry.
Distribution from Retirement Account – You can name Johnsonburg Presbyterian Center as a designated beneficiary of a specific dollar amount, or percentage of the account upon death. Gifts of retirement assets provide significant income and estate tax benefits and require the use of a designated beneficiary form with the plan administrator. A bequest of retirement assets is of no effect.
Gift Annuity – This is a contract between you and Johnsonburg Presbyterian Center to provide a guaranteed lifetime annuity for yourself and, if desired, for another individual. Gift annuities provide significant tax and financial benefits for the donor. A confidential personalized analysis can be provided upon request.
Life Insurance - A donor can make Johnsonburg Presbyterian Center the owner and beneficiary of a life insurance policy. Older policies are excellent gift assets as they give a charitable income tax deduction of approximately the current cash value of the policy. With new policies, donors receive a current charitable deduction for the premium payments on the policy.
To donate stocks, call our office at 908-852-2349 and we will take the appropriate information.
If you would like to make a larger donation to the camp, please contact us for assistance.

Gifts:

Your gifts of items will definitely help advance the ministry of Camp Johnsonburg. Perhaps you have an item that is in good working order, but is no longer being used. Or you are involved in a business that could support the ministry through one of these in-kind opportunities. You can also make a financial gift designated to purchase a specific item. Please contact the camp to see where our needs currently are and remember, we always have needs!

Volunteers:

Volunteers are the lifeblood for most nonprofit organizations. At Camp Johnsonburg, we have many opportunities throughout the year where volunteers are needed:

Summer Camp: Volunteer to council or work (lifeguards, health professional, nature resource, craft resource, kitchen, and maintenance) at Johnsonburg for a week or more during the summer.
Spruce-up Johnsonburg Day is a fun and interesting day as we prepare the camp for summer programming. We have projects for people of all ages and abilities. Contact the camp if you or your group would like to help.
Check our web site for a list of other projects for individuals or groups that you can help us with throughout the year.

Prayers:

If you cannot help us financially, you can always add us to your prayers! Pray for the ministry here at Camp Johnsonburg, the full time staff, summer staff and the children that will be inspired by our programs and spiritual events in their lives.
