        Whether it's a one time, once a year, or monthly gift, Onomia always appreciates and values gifts from our friends.  If you're a Thrivent member don't forget to multiply your gift through the Giving Plus Program.  Camp Onomia can receive gifts through Thrivent's Simply Giving Program as well.  This program allows for an automatic donation to camp on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis.
  • Share of your time and talents
        There are all kinds of opportunities to volunteer at Onomia.  Do you have carpentry, electrical, plumbing, typing, raking, shingling, painting, sewing, cleaning, raking, gardening, hosting, computer, art, music, raking or raking skills?  Do you have any skills at all?  We can put you to work.  And the best part is, you get to work in a place that is beautiful all year round.  If you are interested in volunteering at Camp, contact the camp office and we will find a job for you.
  • Include Onomia in your prayers
        Hundreds of people, young and old, pass through the gates of Onomia every year and these people, as well as the staff and volunteers at Camp Onomia welcome your prayers and encouragement.
  • Share In Kind Gifts with Camp Onomia
        There is no shortage of supplies and resources needed to operate Camp Onomia.  If you would like to donate particular items, please check our wish list.  Maybe you're cleaning out your shop or remodeling an office and have extra supplies you don't need.  This is just another way to support the ministry of Onomia.
