Presbyterian camps and conference centers play a vital role in shaping leaders, advancing knowledge, and nurturing communities grounded in faith and purpose. The work of camps and conference centers today carries both opportunity and challenges, requiring careful stewardship, strategic clarity, and a long-term vision for sustainability.

At the Presbyterian Foundation, we understand the distinct challenges and responsibilities facing leaders. We are here to support camps and conference centers connected to the Presbyterian Church Camp and Conference Association with practical expertise and a shared commitment to the value of outdoor recreation, spiritual formation, and preserving natural settings.

Whether you are strengthening your financial position, engaging donors more deeply, or planning for the future of your camp and conference center, we offer trusted guidance tailored to your context.

We can assist you in areas such as:

  • Working with donors to cultivate meaningful relationships and strengthen support
  • Creating and enhancing legacy giving programs that invite long-term investment in your camp and conference center’s future
  • Establishing and growing endowments to support enduring financial stability and priorities
  • Navigating complex property decisions, including the sale or transfer of assets
  • Advancing values-based investing strategies that align your endowment with your organization’s faith commitments and ethical priorities

Our approach is collaborative and strategic, grounded in listening, informed by experience, and focused on helping you make decisions that are both faithful and forward-looking.

This support is offered at no cost, as part of our broader commitment to the ministry of the church and its related institutions. We are ready to work alongside you, helping you steward resources wisely while positioning your camp and conference center for a strong and sustainable future.
