Sometimes the best way to support Calumet is with a physical gift.
From art supplies and sports equipment to worship materials and housekeeping supplies, gifts of needed items help us keep our programs running and make sure campers, families, and retreat guests have what they need to have a great experience at Calumet.
Shop Our Amazon Wishlist
Want to help out with something we know we need? Check out our Amazon Wishlist for a current list of items that would be especially helpful to Calumet. Simply choose an item, purchase it, and have it shipped to us.
Our wishlist will change throughout the year as needs arise, so check back often!
Other Ways to Give
If you'd rather purchase an item locally, give us something you already have around the house, or help us with a larger item, we're grateful for that, too.
Here are some of the things that are always useful around camp:
Art Supplies
Construction paper, yarn, glue, pipe cleaners, markers, crayons, fabric, paints, and brushes.
Presentation & Office Supplies
Easels, newsprint pads, dry erase markers, standard markers, pens, pencils, and notepads.
Sports Equipment
Kickballs, tennis balls, ping pong balls and paddles, tennis rackets, soccer balls, safety cones, basketballs, and hockey sticks.
Maintenance & Housekeeping
Canister or upright vacuums, twin mattresses and box springs, white towels, twin sheet sets, pillows, digging shovels, leaf rakes, and work gloves.
Worship Supplies
Heavy-duty white posterboard or foam board, black permanent markers, and Shure SM58S vocal microphones.
Larger Needs
From time to time, Calumet has larger equipment and maintenance needs, too. Our current list of larger and specialty items can be found [HERE].
If you're interested in donating an item that isn't listed, please reach out to us first. We're happy to let you know whether it's something Calumet can use!
Thrivent Action Teams
If you're eligible to apply for a Thrivent Action Team, you can put your $250 Action Team card to work for Calumet by purchasing supplies from our wishlist.
When applying, select "education" as your project category rather than "fundraiser." You can then use your card to purchase items Calumet needs.
We're happy to help with questions about what to purchase or where to have items shipped. Just get in touch!
Thank you for helping provide the things that make Calumet's ministry possible. Every box of art supplies, every soccer ball, every towel, and every microphone helps us create a place where people can learn, play, worship, grow, and belong.
