You can use your assets in helping Highland Lakes accomplish its mission serving the local church in reaching the lost and strengthening people in their walk with Christ Learn more here
General Unrestricted giving and Designated giving - One of the greatest ways you can help Highland Lakes is to give an unrestricted gift. The costs associated with operating Highland Lakes have changed dramatically in recent years due to increases in personnel costs, medical insurance costs, utility costs and the like. Our pricing structure does not allow us to recoup all of our expenses on an annual basis. We are one of the best values for Christian camping in Texas and to reach most churches budget needs we need to keep our fees as affordable as possible. So we have felt like we cannot increase our prices at the same pace of the increase of our expenses. Highland Lakes needs approximately $250,000 in unrestricted giving each year.
Assets and Property - Cars, Trucks, Equipment, golf carts, things we have listed for our needs throughout the year
We will list on our web site and newsletters various specific needs throughout the year.
Foundation or grants - build relationships with people or grant giving organizations that have interests in seeing HLCCC grow and thrive and have matching goals and ideas. - in 12-18 months start with 2-4 per year
Possibly work with local schools who will come to the ODLC to identify businesses in their community who will financially support them in participating in the outdoor education program.
Bring Youth, Pre Teen, Children and adults to camp for camps, retreats etc.
Missions Teams - Have several teams throughout summer, spring breaks, winter breaks, etc to build and restore camp projects - this is not limited to adult teams - we can support and love student youth groups also!
Volunteering - SOWERS, C.O.M.'ers, Hot Hearts, Camp Leadership Staff, Teaching in ODLC
( retired volunteers and others)
Prayer - voice through Facebook, blog etc - have a sign up list to be able to send out prayer needs of camp, staffers, or campers

We also need you as ambassadors to tell others about the ministry here at Highland Lakes Camp and encourage those to bring their groups here and to invest their finances and support here as well.
Funds
are needed for the ongoing operations of the ministry, development of
the physical property, development of various ministries and programs
and reduce debt load.
Income from operations of the camp are not
enough to cover all these areas which are typical in camp ministry. The camp requires active participation of staff, board members and
volunteers to raise necessary funds to properly and effectively serve
our associational churches, other local denominations and churches and individuals in reaching, strengthening
and refreshing those who use the camp facilities and its ministries.
