cultivating real life

In May 2021, we launched the Cultivating Real Life Campaign to raise $7.8 million for four new staff homes and a new base camp dining hall that would advance ministry opportunities throughout our La Grange campus.

As as result of His blessing and the generosity of over 300 families, all the buildings are now in use and we are working towards fully funding the campaign!

Your Gift Transforms Lives

There are several ways you can give financially to support the ministry of Camp Lone Star. Your financial partnership can help transform the lives of over 12,000 individuals who have a Camp experience annually. Here are some specific ways to give:

General Operating Fund

Camp Lone Star is dependent upon $500,000 of unrestricted gifts each year. Your donation to our general operating fund will further our mission by supporting our ministry’s greatest need at that time. 

Cultivating Real Life Campaign

As of August 2024, we have received 84% of pledged commitments! You can give towards your existing pledge here. Thank you for journeying with us!

Capital Improvement Fund

You can make a donation to help us fund capital improvements and general upkeep and maintenance needed at both our La Grange and Pines Campus.
