CORPORATE SPONSORSHIPS
DONATIONS TO CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS
Would you consider sponsoring a Camper for $540 or $45 per month — the average sponsorship for a week of day or overnight camp?
We ask you to consider your most generous donation to the Deer Run MISSION 42:1 Camp Scholarship Fund which provides a week-long summer camp or parent-child weekend for campers and families who otherwise would not be able to attend because of financial needs or who need emotional support due to the death of a parent, job loss, being a foster child, or being raised by a grandparent or other family member.
Children experience an exciting and meaningful time outside in the beauty and stillness of God’s creation learning how much Jesus loves them. They are free from the cultural and technological distractions of their day-to-day lives to focus on what’s important, and develop the tools needed to succeed in school and impact their community.
Your donation is 100 percent tax deductible and goes directly to the Camper Scholarship Fund. No donation is too small, but we ask you to consider a minimum donation of $45.
If you have questions or would like to become a sponsor, contact Development Director Jenny Dyer at JennyD@DeerRun.camp.

WCPR Children’s Theatre’s Star Bright Players present HADESTOWN

WCPR Children’s Theatre’s Star Bright Players present Hadestown: Teen Edition, the full-length adaptation of Anaïs Mitchell’s Hadestown, modified for performance by teen actors for family audiences. This intriguing and beautiful folk opera delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. Following two intertwining love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of immortal King Hades and lady Persephone – Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, Mitchell’s beguiling sung-through musical pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. (This production is rated PG-13.)
Hadestown: Teen Edition is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. www.ConcordTheatricals.com
