Hiawatha Youth Camp

06/03/2026

Here's a look at what we've been working on at our new home! 🛠️

We've been making incredible progress (even since this video was taken), and we have contractors and volunteers on our grounds finishing bathrooms, framing, installing carpet and tile, painting, and more.

As you can see, the work is well underway and the Miracle 2.0 is becoming reality. To complete the project, we still need to raise the final $100,000. Would you prayerfully consider making a gift to help us cross the finish line?

Thank you for investing in the next generation and helping ensure that the ministry of Hiawatha continues changing lives for years to come.

In a few weeks, we must complete several major projects in order to pass inspection and receive our license. The timeline is tight, but we’ve already seen God move through His people in incredible ways.

Your gift, no matter the size, helps create a place where kids can encounter God in a life-changing way, just as they have at HYC for generations.

Below is a list of the remaining projects along with the estimated cost for each one that must be taken care of this month.

With your help, we can seize this opportunity and make Miracle 2.0 a reality! Support our ministry at hiawathayouthcamp.com/donate

We are so thankful for the prayers & support we’ve received from our incredible Hiawatha community as we endeavor to get our new grounds ready for the upcoming camp season 🌲

While we have accomplished SO much, with all of your help, we still have much to complete before we can welcome campers onto the grounds 🪏

We have a handful of upcoming work parties we would LOVE for you to be a part of! Please consider dedicating a Saturday (or two) to being a hands-on part of our ministry. Thanks to you, we can share the love of Christ with hundreds of kids this summer 🙏

Sign up below (there will be lunch so don’t skip this step!) and we’ll see you there 🙌

Some executive staff members had some thoughts about our renovation work at HYC during a work party we had:

"It feels like the past six years since the Miracle Building fell, we've been in a holding pattern. And after a long flight the pilot finally says, 'we're preparing for landing'" — Sarah Andrews

The "holding pattern" we've been in is coming to an end. But we need your continued help to make it all come together. God has provided in many ways, and I’m confident He'll see that we have all we need by June to make a safe landing. Please keep us in your prayers a s major construction projects continue.
