2022 Review

We accomplished many of our 2022 project goals last year, and saw a 50% increase in our rental income! This helped us support our camp program, which is still below our pre-COVID numbers. Overall, we ended the year in the red by $2,800.00. However, we made gains in the past several years, and have approved a 2023 budget that will use some of that reserve. We still need the support of the community to ensure that we maintain a good financial position as our expenses are increasing with rising prices.

2023 Goals

Our general goals for 2023 can be summed up as - growth. We want to see our camp numbers increase by 25%, increase advertising efforts in the area, make improvements to the property that will grow our year-round usability, and literally GROW trees and plants in the areas that were effected by the July 12th storm. Camp Mardela has always been a place to grow together, so help us as we make plans to continue to grow in the future together with you!

Krabill Hall Improvements

Krabill Hall has long been the hub of activity at camp, and it has changed a lot over the years - inside and out! This year, we are looking to make some additional improvements to Krabill all to make it more comfortable and usable. A couple of refrigerators and freezers are in need of major repairs. In addition, Krabill Hall is starting to be used year-round, and needs more substantial climate control. Therefore, we are setting a $50,000 fundraising goal to address these issues. If you would like to support, send a donation with the memo "Krabill Hall Improvements".
