“I went to NECC almost every summer from 2nd grade until I became a counselor during college. I grew up there. My self-confidence grew up there. And my faith grew up there. God used camp to strengthen my beliefs and truly make them my own. My husband and I are so thankful for how God worked in my heart and for the lifelong friends I have because of camp. We choose to give a certain portion of our income every year to help keep the same high-quality program thriving year after year. Now that we have children of our own, we hope God can use camp in our daughter's life, too.”

“Why do I give? My story: the summer after my mom died of leukemia, my dad sent me to a Christian girls’ camp just like Camp Cedarbrook. The influence of godly women in the life of this devastated 11-year-old was, in a word, priceless. The songs, the examples, the skills, and the relationships have stayed with me to this day! A regular gift to NECC will keep on giving in the untold impact of God’s Word and the example of godly lives on girls who live in an increasingly complex society. Won’t you join me in giving? What a thrill to see God at work in the lives of young women!”

New England Camp Cedarbrook depends on its friends and supporters—individuals and churches—to keep our ministry vital. We have deliberately chosen to keep our fees affordable for nearly all campers, so contributions are needed to fill the gap not met by camper fees. Donations replenish the campership fund, which annually awards nearly $20,000 to campers with financial need. Contributions also fund capital improvement projects and long-term maintenance needs. All financial contributions are tax-deductible.

You may designate your tax-deductible gift for the fund of your choice: campership fund, staff scholarships, general operating expenses, or capital projects. Donors who commit to making monthly contributions help keep the books balanced year-round and enable the camp board of directors to respond to needs as they arise.

New England Camp Cedarbrook is incorporated in the State of Maine as not-for-profit, designated by the IRS as a 501(c)3 charitable organization. Therefore, all contributions to the Cedarbrook ministry—both financial, as well as goods or expert services—are tax-deductible. Donors will receive a receipt for all gifts.

Campership Fund

Not every child who wants to attend Camp Cedarbrook comes from a family with the financial resources to make that possible. In this economic climate, families face a variety of difficulties that keep summer camp attendance out of reach, including unemployment, underemployment, housing concerns, illness, and more. The NECC leadership hates to see any child miss out on a week at camp because of the inability to pay the full fee. For this reason, the campership fund exists to fill the gap between the camper fee and the family’s ability to pay. Every summer, dozens of campers are able to attend camp due to the generosity of donors. Your gift of any amount, up to the full cost of a week at camp, will make a lasting difference in a child’s life.

Estate Giving

Some donations come in the form of promises for the future. You can be part of maintaining the legacy of New England Camp Cedarbrook by including the camp in your will. Planned gifts can be made in cash, real estate, stocks, bonds, personal property or life insurance. One of the simplest planned gifts is a bequest through your will in which you designate either a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate after other disbursements. In addition to supporting New England Camp Cedarbrook, it serves as an example to your heirs of the values you hold dear. A bequest also can reduce the amount of your taxable estate, which may increase the actual amount available to loved ones. If you have already planned to give in this way, please remember to update your will to include our new name.
