2024's Change for Chanco Project

With your help, we're excited to bring improvements to our river programming with a new inflatable water obstacle course and floating dock.

What is Change for Chanco?

For more than a decade, campers have been saving their change toward an exciting addition to Chanco’s camp programs. Thanks to Change for Chanco youth fundraising many Camp Chanco programs ideas have become part of a summer of fun full of outdoor experiences. New archery equipment, the rock-climbing wall, our Superman Swing high-ropes element, paddle boards, and an arts and craft pavilion are some of the most recent exciting additions made possible by our campers.

Our anonymous donor has once again agreed to match all donations, so your gift will have double the impact. And, to make this even more exciting, each campsite will compete to see who can raise the most, with the winning campsite each session earning a special ice cream party.

No one is too young to make a difference at Chanco! Join in the fun and help us take our camp programs to new heights by making a "Change for Chanco" today.

Thank you for your continued support. See you soon!

Welcome Camp Director, Cameron Taylor!

Camp Chanco is happy to announce our 2024 Camp Director, Cameron Taylor! Cameron is a Camp Chanco alum who has worked at Chanco as a walk-around counselor, ropes course director, assistant camp director, and former camper himself.

When not at Camp Chanco, Cameron can be seen watching Star Trek or taking his cat, Ranger, out on hikes. We asked him what his favorite thing about Chanco is. He said, “Well, being the former Ropes Director, I would like to say the ziplines! Actually, I love seeing campers and counselors find the same things I was able to get from my time at camp: lifelong friendships and a place to be themselves and find God!”

New Policies at Chanco

Beginning January 1, 2024, the Chanco Board has made a decision to introduce a small convenience fee on all credit card payments for both camps and retreats. This 3% fee is a modest adjustment that will help us continue to provide you with exceptional service and maintain the high standards that make Chanco a cherished destination.

We understand that change can sometimes be met with questions, and we want to assure you that this decision was made after careful consideration and with your best interests at heart. The convenience fee will directly offset the fees that Chanco incurs when accepting credit card transactions. You may avoid this fee by making your payment by check or cash.

We want to express our gratitude for your continued support, trust, and dedication to the Chanco community. Your participation in our camps and retreats has played a crucial role in shaping the vibrant and inclusive atmosphere that defines Chanco. Thank you for being an integral part of the Chanco family, and we can't wait to create more wonderful memories together in 2024!
