Camp can be physically tiring, even exhausting.

Your medical condition (physical fitness, recent or chronic injuries, allergies, physical or emotional limitations, etc.) and even the medications you take may be affected by the activities, the foods served, the emotional challenges with the kids, or the sleeping conditions.

As you may guess: running a week of RFK camp is expensive! To cover the expenses and fund your way on this mission trip, we are asking each volunteer to raise support. There is no expectation that this money comes out of your pocket! Instead, please reach out to friends and family (think coworkers, Bible study partners, family friends, etc) to partner with you for God’s calling for your summer. This partnership request can be to fund your way, but also to support you in prayer! As a 501(c)-3 we do not have funding streams other than the support of our community, we are asking volunteers to commit to at least one of the following options:

Financial Commitment*

Raise $500 to support the financial needs of the ministry by asking family, friends and community members to donate money to our organization. Please consider the timing of this ask, as many donors participate in year-end giving.

Commit to volunteering for at least three of the annual fundraisers: Send a Kid to Camp Day, Golf tournament, Eagle Raceway, Give to Lincoln Day/Giving Tuesday

I feel called to volunteer with Royal Family but have questions or concerns about how I can support the mission financially. Can we talk about it?

Partnering in raising support for camp

Please do NOT let financial support be a barrier for coming to camp. Please contact the camp director (rfklincoln@gmail.com) if you any concerns or questions about meeting this commitment and we would be happy to problem-solve with you. Any money raised or collected should be sent to New Covenant Community Church Attn: RFK Lancaster 6000 South 84th Street Lincoln, NE 68516

Prayer Partners

Every volunteer needs to have at least one prayer partner identified to support them in prayer for camp. Additional prayer partners can sign up for updates here.

Welcome Home Dinner

Typically after serving together for the week we have a Welcome Home Dinner upon returning from camp.
