Expanding the Kingdom of God one camper at a time is the mission that drives us forward. For over 50 years our vision of strong, faith-filled campers and their families has inspired us to donate our time, our energy, and our money to the Camp Oshkidee Ministry.
As a non-profit charitable organization our volunteer Board of Directors and camp committee members take seriously the responsibilities that come with operating and stewarding this Ministry and the many financial challenges it faces.
For many years we have managed to raise half of our annual income from camper registrations and lease group revenue. Leaving us with a large remaining balance still needed to cover our costs.
Camp Oshkidee urgently needs your financial help to solve some very big problems that are essential for the Ministry to continue.
Each year the Board allocates approximately 20% of the annual budget towards maintenance and repairs. Unplanned costs such as the new Chalet HVAC system and the side-lining of both of our ski boats has placed considerable strain on the ministries finances. The reality is that without many of these repairs and replacements the Oshkidee ministry will not survive, let alone thrive.
Our needs commend us to God. HE is our provider. And HE provides for Oshkidee through the faithful generosity and support of donors like YOU.
As a registered, nonprofit charitable organization all donations to Camp Oshkidee are eligible for a tax credit. We ask that you prayerfully consider becoming a monthly financial ministry sponsor, or making a special donation to Camp Oshkidee before year end.
Blessings on you!
SKID STEER: $42,000.00
The decision was made to purchase a skid steer as a strategic investment in the ongoing care and development of Camp Oshkidee. This highly versatile piece of equipment provides the flexibility required to carry out a wide range of property maintenance and improvement tasks across the entire site. Its capabilities will significantly enhance our ability to respond to seasonal demands, improve site accessibility, and ensure the overall functionality, safety, and appearance of the camp. This investment represents a key step in supporting both current operations and long-term growth.
SKID-STEER SNOWBLOWER ATTACHMENT: $5,000.00
Following the recent purchase of our skid steer, we have identified the need for a compatible snowblower attachment. This equipment is essential to ensure our site and facilities remain accessible during the winter season. The road leading into Camp Oshkidee is not maintained by the provincial park, and without the ability to clear snow effectively, access becomes limited for staff, guests, and lease groups. Reliable snow removal is critical to the success of our winter programming and overall site operations.
SEA CAN STORAGE UNITS: $5,000.00 EACH
To better protect and preserve our equipment during the off-season, we are seeking to purchase sea can storage containers. Currently, the majority of our equipment is stored in an open lot on the property, leaving it exposed to weather, theft, and unnecessary wear. Securing adequate, weather-resistant storage is essential to prolong the life of our tools and machinery, reduce repair and replacement costs, and maintain readiness for our seasonal operations.
LODGE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM: $16,000.00
As part of our ongoing commitment to improving guest experience at Camp Oshkidee, air conditioning has been installed in the Lodge building. This much-needed upgrade enhances comfort during the summer months, addressing long-standing issues with heat and humidity. As a central gathering space for programs and events, the Lodge will now provide a more welcoming and functional environment for guests, staff, and lease groups throughout the season.
SITE-WIDE DOORS + CHALET WINDOWS: $110,000.00
As part of the ongoing upgrades to our 50+ year-old facility, new doors and windows have been installed in the Chalet, cabins, and Lodge. These improvements are essential to enhancing the functionality, energy efficiency, and overall comfort of our buildings. In particular, the Chalet’s updated windows and doors significantly improve insulation and ventilation while also contributing to a refreshed and more welcoming appearance. These upgrades support the long-term sustainability of our site and ensure a better experience for all who stay at Camp Oshkidee.

“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to contain it.”
