Our Mission

The Mission of Camp Ondessonk is to provide an environment that inspires physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual growth for individuals and groups through the appreciation and stewardship of nature.

Our Vision

The Vision of Camp Ondessonk, a camp founded on the Catholic Faith, is to be the world’s best youth camp. Inspired by positive role models, campers will experience the wonders of God’s creation through adventurous, challenging activities in a unique, rustic environment.

Non Cash Gifts

In addition to cash contributions, Camp Ondessonk donors may make a non-cash gifts. These gifts could include securities, real estate, personal property and other items.  Because non-cash gifts require additional paperwork, review and approvals, we encourage donors to contact their financial advisors and the Camp Ondessonk Director of Development when considering a non-cash contribution option. 

An Additional Note on Non-Cash Contributions and the IRS
The Internal Revenue Service treats non-cash contributions differently than gifts of cash.  Non-cash contributions of $500 or more are reported on the IRS form 8283.  In addition, non-cash contributions may require more documentation, especially if the value of all "like" non-cash contributions given in a year to any charitable organizations exceeds $5,000 ($10,000 for gifts of stock).  For non-cash contributions at this level, the IRS requires the donors to include qualified, written appraisals with their tax returns.  Copies of an appraisal or receipts help the Camp Ondessonk determine the value of the non-cash contribution and may be included on a donor's giving record at Camp Ondessonk.
