Dear Friends,
I am overwhelmed with gratitude for your generosity and support of Camp Hanover. Through your kindness this past year, you helped create a welcoming and inclusive community where people of all ages can experience God's love and grow their gifts so they may go out and serve others in the world beyond Camp.
Your support has provided life-changing experiences--campfires filled iwth laughter, quiet moments of reflection in nature, and transformational relationships built on faith and friendship. Because of you, campers and retreat participants found a place where they belong, where they feel inspired to deepen their faith, and are empowered to share God's love in the world.
Along with this note, you will find a summary of your giving for the past year. It is a reminder to me of the meaningful difference you have made. I hope it if for you as well. Your generosity ensures Camp Hanover continues to be a place where all are welcome and where lives are changed.
Thank you for being part of the shared mission and for making Camp Hanover a place of love, faith, and calling. ALl of us here are so grateful for you and look forward to another year of ministry together. Thank you!
With deep appreciation,
Doug Walters
Executive Director

Thank you for your generous contribution of $500 in support of survivors of domestic violence and their children as we help to Empower A New Generation by providing the resources and outreach needed to realize the skills for healthy relationships. Your transformative gift has enabled us to deliver sanctuary, safety, and crucial services when survivors and their children needed them most in order to break the cycle of violence.
Caring friends like you ensure that we continue to empower and strengthen the youth in our community with life-changing services as they more forward from abuse towards a brighter tomorrow. Our Youth Team works with these youngsters on communication skills, boundaries, and resiliency. As one high school student in our Healthy Relationship Classroom Presentation observed:
"I learned who to talk to when I need help in a relationship."
This is the life-changing impact you make when you support young people by helping to break the generational cycle of violence. When we can bolster children's safety and ability to foster healty relationships, we are able to Empower A New Generation.
Thanks to you, survivors of domestic violence and their children have a hopeful, new start and brighter future filled with dignity and respect. We appreciate your gift of caring.
Gratefully,
