Brad Walden Memorial Scholarship Fund

Double your impact this November! Friends and family of Brad Walden have generously offered to match every gift to the BGCC Scholarship Fund, up to $18,000, in his memory. That means your $25 gift becomes $50, and a $100 gift becomes $200.

Our Scholarship Fund helps campers who might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend. Your generosity opens the door to a life-changing week at camp and honors Brad’s legacy by passing that gift on to the next generation. Give today and help us use every dollar of the match!

Support everyday operations.
Every camp day runs on faithful, everyday giving: lifeguards on the pool deck, meals in the dining hall, safe cabins, and programs from overnight camps to our off-site day camps. Gifts to the General Fund keep the water clean, the lights on, and the doors open, so campers can meet Jesus in a place built for joy. No gift is too small to make a difference.

Fund the people who serve year-round.
Behind every camper’s story is someone who prayed, planned, and showed up. Our year-round team trains summer counselors, leads retreats, partners with churches and families, and cares for camp in every season. Your gift sustains the people God uses to disciple youth, empower families, and encourage the church all twelve months of the year.

Fund outreach ministries like Camp Skybound and Camp Access.
Some of camp’s most meaningful moments happen outside our regular summer sessions. Camp Skybound gives kids ages 7–14 a free overnight retreat with ziplining, kayaking, campfires, and caring mentors. Camp Access welcomes upper teens and adults with special needs for a weekend where everyone belongs. Your gift opens camp to people who might never otherwise get to come.

Help fund the new dorm.
Every camper has a story, and we’re making room for more of them. The Story Campaign is raising funds for a new dorm that will give more children, youth, and families a place to stay, grow, and encounter Jesus at Blue Grass. Help lay the foundation for the stories still to be written.

Invest in year-round summer staff connection.
Summer staff give everything for a season, and the faith and friendships formed here shouldn’t end in August. The Alumni Fund keeps former counselors and staff connected through gatherings, encouragement, and new chances to serve. Invest in a community of young leaders who carry camp into their churches, campuses, and workplaces all year long.
