Camper Scholarships: 

$100 per camper  for 1 week of camp.  We give out scholarships to the un-churched young person and also to the young believer who invites them to camp, inspiring GREAT COMMISSION LIVING and connecting them to a church before they ever come to camp.    You can give ONE scholarship, partial scholarship, or more than one scholarship!  Our goal is to be able to give out 80 scholarships this coming summer season (January/Feb 2025)

This last summer, we had aproximately 600 people pass through the camp and over 60 decisions for Christ, and many more spiritual growth decisions!!  Praise the Lord.  Many of the young people who accepted Christ are a direct result of our scholarship program and many of them are underprivileged or at-risk. 

Camp Worker Scholarships: 

$250 per worker for the 5 weeks of camp summer 2026 (at current exchange rate).   These are given to the young men and women who volunteer their time to work at camp for the entirety of camp, the 4 weeks, living out and sharing the Gospel in front of the young teen campers.  Volunteers normally pay to be able to work with us, we are looking to give out 20 scholarships, we normally have a total of 100 volunteers throughout the summer.

So far God has allowed us to see over 230 salvation decisions, 25 have decided to go into full-time ministry,  many have gone on to take bible classes in institutes and bible colleges, and there have been HUNDREDS of dedication decisions.   We are also actively planning TWO strategically located church plants.

IMMEDIATE CAMP NEEDS:

#1  NEED FOR 2026 CAMP:  15 Medium Size CAMPER TENTS:

Last summer we had to turn away campers because we did not have enough beds or space!  This year we had aproximately 200 people at camp for 4 weeks straight.  

We are changing our tents from having two huge camper tents to 10 medium size camper tents.  Would you consider helping for this need?    Cost of these needs is aproximately $9000.    (See a video showing us putting together the camper tents and bunks by clicking the following link:   https://www.instagram.com/p/C2pSMpiuFbs/).  

#2 2026 NEED: 100 CHAIRS

We are currently using borrowed chairs every year and the campers and staff have to carry the chairs 6 times a day back and forth from the dining area to the meeting area.   This cost will be aproximately $1600.   Would you consider helping with this need? 

#3 2026 NEED: 15 COLAPSABLE TABLES

As our capacity exapands to be able to serve more campers, we also need to be able to have tables for them to eat.  Please prayerfully consider hepling to meet this need, the tables cost $120 per table which seats aproxamately 10 campers.

#4.  2026 NEED:  20FT/40FT STORAGE CONTAINER

As the Lord provides the beds, tents, chairs and tables, we need to be able to store all these new materials.  We have already filled our new 2nd container we bought last year.  Would you prayerfully consider providing for a 3rd storage container?  Cost = $3800

OTHER NEEDS:

1. Camp & Church Planting Center Property  – We currently rent a different property every year, spending over $23,000.00 (USD) the last two years just to rent the property out for 4 weeks.  This year it will cost us $14,000 to rent the facilities, that is a sum of money that we pray by faith God will provide.  God has done some great things as we go from property to property, in our last “in person” year just before the pandemic hit we had over 400 people come through and were only $5000 in the RED, almost financially independent!   We calculate that this year we can be financially independant if we are able to have 130 campers per week.

Would you pray for HIS provision for our own property?   We are diligently keeping our eyes open and researching properties even though we do not have much $$ to buy a property.  We are trusting in the LORD’S provision.   If we are able to purchase a property, because we are a non-profit, there will not be property taxes nor taxes to pay annually, a great benefit, meaning we would only have to pay utilities! Please designate any donation for a property “FOR TA PROPERTY PURCHASE”.

2. Purchase 4 Large Camping Tents For Families: $800 

3. Big Screen TV/Industrial Projector – $1200 – We are in need of a Big Screen TV or Projector to project the sermons, lessons, songs, videos, and games which all needs to be able to be seen in the daylight, since we meet in open air, meaning it needs to be industrial strength.  Help us teach God’s Word through  a TV or Projector.

4. Tools – $3000 – we are beginning to build up our own “tool kit” and want to take advantage of the prices while we are in the USA.  Tools cost way more in Chile.  We have major set up and take down work every summer along with constructing and tearing down stage, decorations, and large scale games requiring us to borrow tools.

5. Legal Costs – $3000 – We are ready to form the camp as a non-profit and also protecting the name, logo, and songs that have been written just for Tierra Alta.

Thank You For Considering Supporting Our Camp Financially and Prayerfully.  To God Be the Glory.  What a privilege it is to depend on you for the establishment of a camp that can be sustained on its own in the future!

Your donation is a tax-deductible donation because it is going through a non-profit organization IBM Global (www.IBMGlobal.org)

Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts. We are simply amazed and humbled by your generosity and count it a privilege to be your hands and feet on the front lines.  Please keep praying for us and for the ministry God has called us:  Starting Churches through Camp Ministries in Santiago, Chile.

May God bless you richly,
