BECOME A FUN-RAISER!
This giving season, we’re not just fundraising. We’re FUN-raising!
All ABout Jesus,
All about fun
For over 65 years, Camp Deer Run has been a place where countless kids and families have discovered the love of Christ in a unique and unforgettable way. While our mission is centered on sharing Jesus with our campers, there’s something else that makes this mission come alive every summer: FUN.

The Swing
Our giant swing has had a rough time with some determined woodpeckers. Despite our best efforts, they’ve continued to damage the poles. It’s time for a more permanent fix— or even an exciting new update. We want to level up the experience for our younger campers by adding a new ropes activity for all ages.
The Pool
Our pool deck is supposed to be replaced every ten years - it's been fifteen. For the safety of our campers and the longevity of our pool, it's time for a replacement. It's also time for some shade! We want to build a shade structure to cover part of the pool to keep it cooler during swim time and hot Middle Sunday baptisms.
The Pavilion
From dodgeball tournaments to worship services, the Pavilion sees it all. But in the middle of summer, it can get crazy hot in there! We’re planning to install a couple of massive fan to keep the air flowing and the fun going, even when the temperature rises. We will also replace the old halogen light fixtures with new LED fixtures that will be more energy efficient.
Volleyball Court
The volleyball courts need some love. We’re talking new nets, fresh sand, and retaining walls that can hold up to all the action. With these upgrades, campers will keep enjoying epic games of four-square volleyball and nukem for many summers to come! The volleyball courts will also be much easier to maintain after these enhancements.
Lost Pond
There’s nothing more fun for a kid than catching a fish, but nothing more frustrating than fishing for an hour with no bites. With your help, we want to stock the pond, known as Lost Pond to our campers, to maintain a healthy population of largemouth bass and bream so campers can do a little less fishing and a lot more catching!

Your gift this holiday season will help us to upgrade and improve some of the most FUN parts of Camp Deer Run. This is so important to our mission because at Camp Deer Run, the carefree and fun environment helps kids to lay their burdens down and become receptive to the good news of Jesus. At the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about. There are a lot of camps out there that are fun just for the sake of fun. At Camp Deer Run, we are having fun for the sake of the gospel!
Why does it matter?
raise the fun
Each of these places is a critical piece of the carefree setting that allows campers to experience the joy of being kids again. In this environment, they witness Christ’s love through our amazing summer staff and become open and receptive to the gospel message.
To keep these special areas in top shape, we need to complete some vital repairs and upgrades. That’s why we’re asking for your help. Our goal is to raise $120,000 by the end of this year so we can continue providing the kind of experiences that make Camp Deer Run a place where fun and faith go hand in hand.
Your donation will play a critical role in ensuring that campers can experience God in the special Deer Run way—where fun paves the way for faith.
