​Thank you for your kind and generous support!  MVCSC exists by the will of God and the sacrifice of His people. Through the years countless numbers of people have donated to, worked with, prayed for, guided and loved this camp as well as the people we serve. We have some exciting news. 2025 will be our 80th year! We are excited to celebrate what God has done next year! 

In 2024 we held all of our regular season camps. In addition, we hosted several rentals and retreats. We also started a student-led Young Adults ministry named BEFF. Its Belonging, Encouragement, Fun, and Fellowship, once a month for anyone who has graduated High school and considers themselves a young adult. Please join us! Watch our Facebook page for times and dates.  In 2025 Greenpond Christian Church will be hosting Family Camp. Don’t miss out on this fun-filled September weekend!

For our Mission Trip this year we served several local people and ministries in Western Illinois and Eastern Missouri. The people who went represented your camp and churches very well. The team members were cleaning, painting, scraping, and doing repairs needed to a local church’s new multipurpose building, several local shut-ins’ homes, and a wonderful maternity ministry named Anne’s Anchor. We were grateful to be a part of helping these ministries in their service to the Lord and our community. 

 The Spaghetti Dinner in April at the Crossroads Center was a great success and is planned again for 2025, the date will be announced. Thank you to all who made that event possible, and to all who attend. A hearty “Thank You” to the volunteers for all they do! 
 
We are very grateful for your support of MVCSC.  You play an important role in the success and growth here at the camp. God can use anyone at church camp. Here are a few ideas to help you to get involved at your camp. Host a retreat for your church, start a camp teaching campers about Jesus and your favorite hobby or skill, serve as a dean, family leader, teacher, nurse, dorm parent, or help with games and activities, serve in the kitchen, help clean, come talk to and pray with campers, share your faith at campfire,  lead music, help get the camp grounds and buildings ready, mow, weed-eat, blade the roads, improve drainage, maintain Lake Leo and many other small or large jobs. Call Jim or talk to your church camp representative and we’ll hook you up!  

Please keep MVCSC in mind for your giving, and as always please remember us in your prayers.  

Yours in Christ,
