About the #GreatCampGive
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.
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.
The Goal: $100,000
During this year’s #GreatCampGive, the goal is to raise $100,000 to support the ministry and mission of Camp Hanover. Just like a piece of Candy Corn, we're going to get there one brightly colored, tasty layer at a time.
First Layer: Gather. Goal: $25,000
We'll start the day at the very bottom, the yellow layer. The first $25,000 raised will be used to care for the places where we gather, like the lodges, longhouses, dining hall and campfire areas.
Next Layer: Give. Goal: $35,000
The taste orange middle is all about the experiences Camp gives. The next $35,000 raised supports the programs and the gear for classics like Canoeing, Archery, Arts & Crafts, and the Challenge Course.
Top Layer: Grow. Goal: $40,000
If we really stretch, we can raise another $40,000 and fill the white bit at the tippy-top of the Candy Corn. These funds will be used to grow new leaders, train staff, and develop new programs and activities so Camp Hanover is ready for what comes next.
Together, if we fill all three layers, we'll reach $100,000.
Raising $100,000 together in one day would be amazing. An, it means Camp Hanover remains strong and ready to welcome every child who needs Camp.
Your support transforms campers and nurtures their potential. YOU help each child grow confident and compassionate. YOU guide them to become their best self, ready to take on the world and make it a better place. YOU give them the chance to experience God’s deep and boundless love in a safe, caring community.
