Here at Central Iowa Bible Camp we always strive to be the best stewards that we can.  We work very hard to keep the costs of our camping programs as low as possible so that as many young people can have the opportunity to experience Christ in the camp setting. Our budget for this year is $128,000 far below that of many camps our size and our cost for an average full week program is $140 (if the camper pre-registers).  Our cost is roughly half of most other camps in our area.  In order to operate at this cost level we rely on our supporting Churches and individuals to make up approximately 75% of our support.

We are currently entering into a Capital Campaign to raise funds to replace our septic system and to update our current restroom facilities. Our current bathhouse has developed serious foundation issues and needs to be replaced. We intend to replace our current bathhouse with restrooms in the girls cabins and a bathhouse on boys hill for the boys. The cost of the new septic system will be approx. $10,000 to install bathrooms in the girls cabins  and build the new bathhouse on boys hill will cost about $25,000 more. While doing this work we also plan to make several of our girls cabins usable on a year round basis (the first step in being able to utilize our facilities year round).

If you would like to be a part of this special fund raising adventure or if you would like to give a gift or continuing contribution to CIBC it would be greatly appreciated and go a long way in reaching the lives of young people for Christ.
