Camp Sale 2020

Hey Pine Lake Family!

When is the virtual Camp Sale?

  • Camp Sale will start on October 3 at 1:00pm with a Kick Off Video on Facebook & YouTube.  Following the video, Items will be available to bidding. We will start the event with a video before the auction goes live for bidding.  Bidding will last until October 7 at 8:00pm.

How can I support Camp Sale?

  • Attend & participate in the virtual auction on October 3. Hold a watch party and bid!
  • Go LOCAL – Create a local fundraiser in your church or community to benefit Pine Lake. Several churches and groups do this already! Hold a lunch/dinner take out meal, host a silent auction, hold a bake sale (in person or pre-order), etc.  Utilize your strengths and gifting you wish to help support camp.
  • If there is not anything you wish to bid on at the auction, consider a cash donation to Pine Lake Fellowship Camp as part of the fundraiser.

Why Camp Sale?

  • Camp Sale supports ministry to children and adults at Pine Lake Fellowship Camp. 2020 will only the second year since 1984 that we are unable to have an “in person” Camp Sale (other was 2005 due to Hurricane Katrina).  God is abundant and has provided for PLFC’s needs.  We knowingly and actively place our trust in God in the times of plenty and in the times of need.    We invite you to be part and engage in this event to support Pine Lake Fellowship Camp and the lives that will be transformed as a result.
