As Prime Time grows, so do the physical and operational needs. This means that there is a need to continue to seek financial support from individuals, corporations, and foundations.

Prime Time has always made a great effort in stretching its donations to the fullest extent possible. As an example, the water treatment plant is valued at $119,000. Yet it was built for a cash outlay of $26,000 by using volunteers, donated materials, and services. The sewer system is valued at $49,000 and it was built for less than $23,000. The new duplex cabins are valued at $200,000 but were built for $20,000.

You may fund your gifts with either cash or appreciated securities – the choice depends on your specific goals. By using this method of donation, your gift qualifies you for a substantial charitable income – tax deduction.
• Annual Fund – With a goal to increase the camp season from 17 camps to 22 camps, the number of people that can be served will increase. As a result, the operating budget will continue to grow. This means your annual gift is needed more than ever.
• Endowment Fund – Gifts to this fund are perpetual and will also secure the future of Camp Prime Time. It is truly “a gift with a future”. The benefit to you will be knowing the income generated by the legacy you leave will support the camp and programs for many years to come.

Participate

There are many ways to support Camp Prime Time. One is by volunteering in the following ways.

Camp – Volunteers are always in demand and generally work from late Friday afternoon through early Sunday afternoon. Duties include food preparation, cleaning, and assisting with organized recreation activities such as boat rides or campfire programs.

Work Parties – Volunteers are needed for opening camp in May and closing of camp in October. Skilled project workers such as carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and other specialized trades are always needed.

Special Events – Volunteers are needed to help coordinate the Prime Time biennial Dinner and Auction fundraising event. A tree recycling service is provided every year after Christmas in the towns of Yakima and Naches, which needs many volunteers to keep it running smoothly.

Partner

A way to partner with Camp Prime Time is to give Gifts in Kind. These gifts come from individuals, corporations, and organizations. They consist of food, camp supplies, construction materials, and recreational products.
