Join the mission of Camp Elkanah.
In Hebrew, Elkanah means “created by God.” We believe God created Elkanah as a place set apart, where He changes lives. We are blessed to serve Him and be a part of the story He is writing here. For more than 60 years, people cross the main bridge at camp to find friends, feel peace, take refuge, and encounter our God who changes lives.
Many amazing individuals have given time, money, and earnest prayer as an investment in what God is doing here. We want you to be a part of that legacy! Here are some of the many opportunities to join the story of Camp Elkanah.
Pray
At Elkanah, we wholeheartedly believe in the power of God and the power of prayer. Doing work for the kingdom of God requires much prayer. Please consider joining Elkanah by committing to pray regularly for our staff, programs, and finances. You can keep up with current prayer requests by checking out our online newsletter, The Elkanah Express.
"You know the value of prayer: it is precious beyond all price. Never, never neglect it."
- Sir Thomas Buxton
Serve
Taking care of camp is a team effort. Our goal is to make camp a beautiful and functional place where our programs can proclaim the gospel. Volunteers like you are crucial to the success of that goal!
We love to have groups or individuals come up for a day, a week, or longer. Join us for one of our work weekends to work alongside others, or contact us to schedule a time for you or your group.
God is glorified through our acts of service and we would love for you to choose to serve Him at Camp Elkanah.
