Each summer, Raleigh’s Place invites camp staff to serve at Camp 1:27 not only as employees, but as summer missionaries. Our counselors and junior counselors play a vital role in creating a safe, joyful, Christ-centered camp experience for children in foster care, adopted children, and children in relative placement.
To help make this possible, camp staff are allowed to raise financial support for their summer of service. Camp counselors may raise up to $500 per week, and junior counselors may raise up to $350 per week. These gifts help support the staff member as they serve, lead, encourage, and invest in campers throughout the summer.
Support raising also gives family members, friends, churches, and community partners a meaningful way to participate in the ministry of Camp 1:27. Through prayer and financial support, they help make it possible for summer staff to serve faithfully and help children experience one of the best weeks of their lives.
Interested in supporting a summer staff member?
Please follow the giving instructions provided by the staff member or contact Raleigh’s Place for more information.

Instructions for Summer Staff Seeking Support
If you are applying as a counselor or junior counselor, please keep reading. Attached to this page is a document with a support letter template. What you need to do is download the document, edit the date and name on the bottom of the letter, and send it out. We have tried to make this as simple as possible for you. We recommend sending a letter to at least 30 different people including churches, family, and friends. As support money comes in, we will let you know who all contributed to your fund so that you can send a thank you letter after camp. The contents of the support letter include a call to prayer and giving of finances. Our hope and prayer is that people will be willing to not only support you financially, but also spiritually as they pray for you and your ministry at Camp 1:27.
