Camp Caroline frequently benefits from the generosity of people who support our ministry, both financially and with their stuff. This page was created to provide some ideas or guidelines for the kind of things that we might really need, and the process by which “stuff” is given.

One way people can give is by sending us money so that we can purchase the things that we need to continue or improve our ministry. Each year we put together a Project List, which suggests items for varying amounts that we would like to purchase if we had the money donated. Click here to view this year’s Project List.

Many people have actual things that they no longer want or need, but are unwilling to throw it out because they are still in good condition. Sometimes these items can be of significant benefit to the camp. One man’s junk is another man’s treasure. Below we’ve provided some ideas and recommendations for donating these types of items.

If you are uncertain whether an item would be useful to us, ask us. Knowing of the opportunity to receive an item is better than not knowing at all, even if we choose not to receive it. Please don’t be offended if we do not see the value of the item.

Please ensure that the items are indeed in good condition. The value of the item itself must outweigh the time and effort required to transport them to camp.

Please contact us to ensure that we would like to receive your items. There are several reasons we may not want or need an item at a particular time.

Here are some things we are likely to take if in good condition:

  • Couches & Comfy Chairs
