THRIVE IN '25

ImpaCT Campaign

For the past 27 years, our mission has been to change the lives and hearts of the youth we so dearly love....Camp T is a piece of heaven on earth that shows what life can be like with HIM, no matter where we're at. Our vision is to continue to change the lives of every single camper and guest that step on property. This is a sacred space where kids are known and loved and experience what Jesus can offer so when they go down the mountain and return to “life”, they take it with them to lead a life beyond what the world can give. Not only are campers changed, but also our staff, our retreat guests and our families. Our hearts desire is to continue this kingdom impact for generations to come and we can WITH you!

As a nonprofit organization, we invite you to express your generosity in a variety of memorable and impactful ways as we prepare our ministry for awesome things ahead. This includes capital improvement projects, scholarships and more listed below. Thank you for sharing our mission with us to have Kingdom ImpaCT for generations to come!

ROCKY DOME

In 2014 our Rocky Dome underwent a makeover gaining some brand new walls and garage doors, which was the start of something great. Summer 2023 our dream gym became a reality, where we completely resurfaced the floor, making it the indoor gym we’ve always wanted!

STADIUM SEATING

The stadium has become an amazing place to gather and worship together while looking onto the beautiful Rocky Mountains all around Camp Timberline. With your generosity, our 27 year old benches got the upgrade they deserved!

SHIFT TENT

Our Shift program is one of the sweetest parts of Camp Timberline where students who just finished their Junior or Senior year of High School come stay at Camp for two weeks and learn what Jesus meant when he said “I came to not be served but to serve.”Thanks to your donations, we updated both Girls and Boys Tents, which are now welcoming spaces designed for sweet fellowship and memories.

TENNIS COURT

A significant amount of our programming takes place outdoors on our Tennis Court, and with harsh winters and high summer heat, our tennis court was in need of significant repair. With your gracious donations, the Tennis court received a complete makeover and is ready for endless summer activities.

PORTABLE SOUND SYSTEM & OUTDOOR TENTS

Boy did we sound sharp and look "cool" with our new speakers, sound board and tents! Outta Bounds put on a fantastic program day in and day out because of your generosity!

INFLATABLE

OBSTACLE COURSE

Our new 90' course was an absolute hit! Over 1,000 campers jumped, slid and raced for joy THANKS TO YOU! It's such an awesome piece of equipment that parents and staff were clamoring to join the fun!

GRAND PAVILION

The foundation of our ministry is relationship. The spaces and places where laughter, intentional talks, tears and worship can take place in the beauty of camp is where they are built. For years it has been Dana Darrough’s dream to build another space for those experiences to flourish. Her vision is an outdoor pavilion overlooking the property and Twin Sisters, creating a space for campers and guests to fellowship, take in the beauty of God’s creation, and ultimately encounter the Lord. The structure will be roughly 30’x50’ in size, offering a covered area, with a large, double sided and stone fireplace. What a blessing this spot will be for all to enjoy both summer and fall. Join us in the journey to make this a reality!

ESTIMATED COST/FUNDS NEEDED: $750,000

MOUNTAIN ADVENTURE UPGRADES

For the 2024 season we are looking at revamping and performing maintenance on a few specific Mountain Adventure Elements. We have over 3000 campers and retreat guests challenging themselves, trying something new and exciting every summer and fall. Our goal is to replace and renew our giant high ropes complex to continue an amazing, safe and exhilarating experience.

THE LAKE DECK

When we built the lake 15 years ago, we knew it would be a wonderful addition for our camper experience. We want to continue the activities and fun by providing additional space for campers to enjoy the lake, the sun and a spot to relax with their friends and counselors. The deck would border the shore and provide a comfortable and accessible area throughout the summer and fall.

ESTIMATED COST/DECK DOLLARS NEEDED: $15-$25,000:

CAMPER SCHOLARSHIPS

Our founders, Bill and Dana Darrough, had a dream of starting a summer camp in Colorado with 200 campers in 1997…now we have over 3,000 a summer! WE PRAY THOUSANDS MORE EXPERIENCE JESUS! There is NO limit with your support….help us serve these precious children in this heavenly place created just for them. Help us give them the gift of being known and loved, encouraged, supported, strengthened and empowered by the truth and hope of Jesus Christ. Let us impaCT the world together, one child at a time. For HIM.

GOAL: $25,000 - Let's get 25 kids in 2025!

ADDITIONAL WELL

Camp requires a large amount of water to run every season. Between demands like showers, cooking, dish washing and serving over 3,000 campers and guests each year, our current well cannot keep up. We are now requiring the transport of water to Camp from Estes Park to operate. Hauling this amount of water is expensive, so we are going through the process of drilling a second well that will be able to meet the needs of Camp T for years to come.

ESTIMATED COST: $35,000

In Their Own Words...

To all of the Camp Timberline family, I can't express enough how incredibly thankful I am for Camp Timberline. I remember 7 years ago when we first discovered Camp T. Paxton was a 3rd grader, I reached out to you guys about a possible scholarship program and Paxton was accepted at a discounted rate. That year completely changed his walk of life. With the exception of Covid summer he has attended every year since. Now attending his 6th summer, he looks forward to it each and every year. In fact he is just as excited for this year as he was for his first year. He has made lifelong friends and memories that he will cherish for years to come. I just felt compelled to share with all of you how Thankful and Blessed we truly are for Camp T! WE LOVE YOU GUYS!
