About the #GreatCampGive
The #GreatCampGive is a once-a-year, one-day, FUN-raising, FRIEND-raising, and FUND-raising event. The goal of this annual day of giving is to strengthen Camp Hanover's ministry now, and set the course for the future. The one day each year when big-hearted people like you step up with incredible generosity to support the camp experience only Camp Hanover provides. And the best thing... thanks to our matching fund sponsors, gifts were matched dollar for dollar, so your kindness went twice as far!
Why Give?
For nearly seven decades, Camp Hanover has been a beacon of sunny summer camp experiences. These years have been filled with laughter, learning, and unforgettable memories that have shaped the lives of countless individuals. Campers have found friendship, discovered their strengths, and developed a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.
Gather. Give. Grow. The 2026 #GreatCampGive is a celebration of the memories and impact of the Camp experiences we've had and an invitation to be part of the exciting journey ahead. Whether you're a former camper, a staff member, a friend, or a supporter, your involvement helps ensure that Camp Hanover remains a place where everyone can feel loved and accepted.
Together, let's honor the past and embrace the future, continuing to make Camp Hanover a place where everyone belongs.
How Far We Filled the Candy Corn
During this year's #GreatCampGive, we set out to raise $100,000 for the ministry and mission of Camp Hanover, one brightly colored, tasty layer at a time. The Candy Corn Meter shows how far we got together. Here's what each layer of your generosity will do at camp.
First Layer: Gather. Goal: $25,000✓ GOAL REACHED!We started the day at the very bottom, the yellow layer. These gifts will care for the places where we gather, like the lodges, longhouses, dining hall and campfire areas.
Next Layer: Give. Goal: $35,000✓ GOAL REACHED!The tasty orange middle is all about the experiences Camp gives. These gifts support the programs and the gear for classics like Canoeing, Archery, Arts & Crafts, and the Challenge Course, and help keep camp affordable for every family.
Top Layer: Grow. Stretch Goal: $40,000STILL GROWINGThe white bit at the tippy-top of the Candy Corn was our big stretch. These gifts will grow new leaders, train staff, and develop new programs and activities so Camp Hanover is ready for what comes next.
