Special Announcement:
​Upward Bound Camp and Covid-19

We feel it is important to note that not only are we rescheduling our annual fundraising event, we also will be unable to hold camp or community dances for an unknown amount of time. This is a real financial hardship for Upward Bound Camp. We are in the process of developing a budget impact statement related to COVID-19 which will be shared with our community and our donors. We hope that you will consider assisting us in bridging the funding gap created by this worldwide state of affairs. 


We have many options for you to be able to make a donation:

1. Donate via Paypal Giving Fund
2. Mail your donation to our office
3. Click the "Donate" button below


​Also, if your employer matches charity contributions, check to see if Upward Bound Camp is eligible.  We are registered with Benevity.org.
If you would like to make a donation by check or money order, you can mail it directly to our address (below).
If you would like to donate materials goods or property, contact our office to help coordinate getting them to camp:  camp@upwardboundcamp.org

Property Pay-Off Matching Grant

Picture
UBC has been chosen as the recipient of a matching grant to help us pay off the mortgage of the camp property in Gates, OR.  The property was purchased from the Santiam School District in 2014 for $500,000.  We have paid down a portion of the principal through our monthly mortgage payments and several large donations.  We currently have a balance of $160,000 remaining on our mortgage and have received a matching grant to make up that difference.  

​We are grateful to the Staples Foundation and a handful of anonymous donors who have come together to provide this matching opportunity. Your contribution towards the property pay-off will be matched up to $80,000.

Please consider supporting this campaign, and in doing so, supporting this commitment to all of our campers with diverse-abilities as well as the long term investment in the Gates community.

Upward Bound Camp is a Private, Non-Profit 501(c)3 Charity.

There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them.
There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 

There are different kinds of working, but in all of them
and in everyone it is the same God at work.

 ~ 1 Corinthians 12:4-6
