Portage Lake Bible Camp has been impacting lives for almost 80 years! The Gala was started as an opportunity to raise funds for items and initiatives that fall outside the camp’s regular budget. Over the last 9 years, these are some of the things that have been purchased through your generosity: 

 

  • Camp Scholarship Fund (Every Kid a Camper!)
  • Sound equipment for the chapel
  • Luggage carts
  • Adirondack chairs
  • Polywood picnic tables
  • Mattresses
  • Canoes
  • Large water toys (water mats, Saturn, paddle boards)
  • Tables and table cart
  • Carpet in Welcome Center
  • Lifejackets
  • General Fund

Please join us for what has become a highlight of the “off season”.  Dinner will be catered by The Gilmore Group of Grand Rapids, followed by a silent auction and then a time of worship and thanksgiving for all God continues to do at camp. We are truly grateful for your continued support and look forward to seeing you there. If you’re unable to attend, please consider giving directly towards camp or donating items or experiences for the silent auction.

 

To donate to silent auction, please email Kristen Padgett @tkj012903@hotmail.com
