We ask that each family bring an item (or a couple items as a “basket”) to be part of the raffle.
In the past, we have had everything from bags of Ethiopian coffee and a mug to a bucket of beach toys to a trio of culturally-related kids books to a FitBit Alta. Pretty much anything goes - just think about something you or child(ren) might enjoy winning.

We understand that different families are in different places financially, and truly appreciate anything you feel comfortable donating. The more expensive items will be put into a silent auction, but most everything goes into the raffle. 

All raffle proceeds go into our financial aid fund, which provides support for families needing it to come to camp, and also helps us cover the cost of the weekend for our volunteer staff of young Ethiopian adults.

Make sure to sign up for Remind so we can reach everyone more easily during camp!
