Support Camp!
 
Western Illinois Youth Camp is a non-profit organization.  We rely on charitable, community minded people to continue serving youth in our area.  We provide hundreds of youth and adults each year with an affordable outdoor venue for growth, friendships, and of course, fun!  Without support from people like you, we would not be able to do this.  Check out the many ways you can help below! 
 
Donate.
Recent donations have enabled us to make many renovations like our new entry sign, refreshed Craft Hall, and renovated Krell Cabin to mention a few!  Any amount of giving is GREATLY appreciated and is always used for capital improvements or camper sponsorships. Send donations to P.O. Box 48, Jacksonville, IL  62651, or save a stamp and we'll pick it up.   Call (217) 673-3771 for information. 
 
 
Volunteer. 
Volunteer support has saved our camp over $3,000 this summer!  Be a part of the solution.  From serving meals, to leading llamas, to painting cabins, we can always use a helpful hand!  Volunteer for as short or as long of a time as you like.  We have something for everyone.

$45.00.  Sponsor a camper.  Get a t-shirt. 
Each summer, our young campers are given thousands of dollars in scholarships.  Thanks to the Prairie Land United Way, The Wells Center, The American Camp Association and generous camp supporters such as yourself, we can offer camps to kids at a low cost or no cost at all. 
 
Camp Hope is provided to local low-income children at no cost.  This camp is funded entirely by scholarships.  This year funding for this camp fell short.  You can sponser a child going to Camp Hope!  Your sponsorship pays a percentage of that camper's fees, and fills the gaps where our funding fell short.  Without private contributions, kids will not go to camp.  Click below to download our sponsorship form:
