Camp Sale 2025 is a wrap — and what a day it was!
Partnered with beautiful weather, stunning quilts, and delicious food, hundreds of friends and supporters made their way—some from across the country—to the 42nd Annual Camp Sale at Pine Lake Fellowship Camp. Whether they were local travelers or part of the faithful few who drove over 1,000 miles, all came together around one purpose: to rally behind the mission of Pine Lake Camp.
The baked goods table was nearly emptied by noon, while the aroma of jambalaya and seafood gumbo—thanks to Jonathan Bunn, Wayne Comardelle, and crew—filled the air. Friends from decades past reunited and shared stories of summers gone by, while current campers played games and enjoyed time at “their favorite place in the world.”
By 1:00 p.m., anticipation filled the air as the auction began with dozens of lots up for bid. The 2025 Camp Quilt, a stunning piece pieced by Carrie Geil and lovingly stitched at the Camp Quilt Retreat in April, sold for $1,000, making it the highest-priced item of the day! So many hands and hearts came together to make it possible.
As of October 8, 2025, Pine Lake Fellowship Camp has raised over $27,500 toward our $28,500 goal. We thank God for His continued provision!
“I’m amazed at the way God continues to provide for camp,” said Jonathan Bunn, maker of the superb jambalaya. “There is no other explanation for the blessing that Camp Sale is to PLFC.”
A Reflection of Faith and Gratitude
I’ve been re-reading the book, A Spirituality of Fundraising by Henri Nouwen. In it, he writes:
“Fundraising is proclaiming what we believe in such a way that we offer other people an opportunity to participate with us in our vision and mission.”
That’s exactly what Camp Sale is all about. Every quilt stitched, donut rolled, ticket sold, and bid placed is an act of partnership in God’s mission through Pine Lake—a ministry that helps people be renewed and reconciled to God, nature, and one another.
We are deeply grateful to every volunteer, donor, baker, and bidder who made this year’s event possible. Your service and generosity are tangible expressions of God’s love. THANK YOU!
