At JOY, our fees only cover 80% of our expenses and we are regularly looking for ways to conserve costs to keep our camper fees low. Donations designated to where JOY needs it most will go to our General Fund.
CAPITAL FUND:
Donations made to JOY’s capital fund help our staff maintain and improve the facilities at JOY for our guests to enjoy and stay safe during their stay.

SPONSORSHIP FUND – GIVE THE GIFT OF JOY:
Our heart at JOY is that no one would be turned away from an opportunity to attend camp because of finances. We have a sponsorship fund that relies on donations to subsidize registration fees. Donate to our sponsorship fund to give children and families the gift of camp.
- Donations made in honour of an important occasion or memory of someone special can be directed to our sponsorship fund, in place of a gift that may go unused.
Summer Mission Crew Members: Each summer, JOY hires a team of students to serve as missionaries supporting the mission & vision of JOY by serving in the operational areas of camp. Many of the Mission Crew members serve as volunteers and receive a small gratuity for their service. Estimated expenses for a Mission Crew member is $1500.
LEGACY GIVING:
