THANKS FOR A WONDERFUL SUMMER


Reflecting on how this summer went and the overall tone of the program, I thought it was an amazing reminder of God's faithfulness to Salem Acres.


Our summer program I felt had great uniqueness to each week with how well our Directors planned the activities and themes for the campers and staff who came on site. 


To highlight some praise items from this summer. We launched our Three Hills week this year to cater to the community we have built with the town. God also brought us more campers almost every week this summer in comparison to last year. And we also ran a special worship night for 2 different weeks of camp to give everyone an opportunity to grow closer to God through a different atmosphere. 


We are grateful for everyone who arrived on site this past summer and hope to see you again next year!

Work Bee Update


These past few days have been busy with camp renovations! During our workbee, we were blessed to have many of you help us take apart the side dining hall deck and continue working on the front cabins deck. On Wednesday this week, we also had the Mount Olive Church youth group come out to help winterize camp before the snow falls. Thank you to everyone who came for your hard work!

Financial Assistance


Send A Kid To Camp

Our subsidy fund is completely funded by donations given to Salem Acres by those who have enjoyed their time at Camp and want to share the experience with others. We want to use our funds to help as many children come to Camp as possible and would love for you to join us in making that happen.

Prayer Requests


We would greatly appreciate your support through prayer. Here are some things to keep in mind.


  • A popcorn machine to use for our summer program would be a huge benefit. Popcorn Machine

  • As well as our paintball masks each year have begun to deteriorate and we are looking to buy new ones for the summer. Paintball Masks 

  • Prayer for our Full Time Staff that we are able to continue to look for new ways to improve camp for our retreat groups and into the summer program. 

  • Looking into rebuilding our Program Committee and would love to see members join in to help cast the vision for the summer program. 

  • Prayer that we are able to fundraise for the camp's financial needs before the end of the year.
