Donations
We operate entirely on donations
Camp Ellie Mae is a (501C-3) non-profit organization, and is free of charge for all campers. We operate entirely on donations and our staff is comprised of 100% volunteers.
All donations go directly to benefit the campers, and may be tax-deductible (consult your tax adviser). There are a few different ways that you can give to CEM:
Cash, Check, Credit or Debit
You can donate by cash (in person – a receipt will be provided), mailing us a check (please email us for our address), and Electronic Cash Donations directly from your bank or using one of many cash apps & money transfer platforms such as PayPal, Zelle, Venmo, etc. Please contact us for the logistics in using these options.

Clothing
Another way to give to Camp Ellie Mae is to donate new or slightly used clothing items to our boutique. Each year at camp, we take our donated goods, and create our Camp Ellie Mae Boutique. The girls get the chance to go through the racks and do some “back to school shopping,” right at camp, and all free of charge. If you or someone you know has clothing, shoes, purses, or accessories that are in good condition, from girls size 8/10 all the way up to adult XL, please email us at campelliemae@gmail.com.
We appreciate any and all donations you are able to send our way! God’s grace and your generosity are what allows Camp Ellie Mae & Camp Forge to operate year after year at no charge for our precious campers.
