Raise Funds for Camperships and Keep Camp Affordable for All!
Each year Cross Trails Ministry gives thousands in discounts and financial aid Camperships so that camp is affordable for most families. The Gift of Faith Gala helps raise funds to make this possible.
Don't let anyone miss out on camp because of the cost!
Our goal this year is to raise $90,000 in tickets, sponsorships, the auctions, and more!
