Sometimes it feels like “Covid” was a lifetime ago, and on other days, it feels like it was just yesterday. DCC partnered with you and the rest of the world in the global effort to slow the spread of Covid-19.  Like most organizations, we, too, ceased operations for more than a year during the historic pandemic. While the closure was a painful economic blow, abiding by social distancing protocols was an act of love for the most vulnerable among us. We did this for each other! It was an opportunity to truly take care of our neighbors! However, it also meant that DCC was unable to host rental groups or programs. As a non-profit, we are dependent upon that revenue to cover operating costs. Like all of you, we found the pandemic to be an unnerving time of great uncertainty. However, it was also a time that people could come together in new ways.

While we were able to conduct summer programs in mostly “normal” ways the last couple of years, the effects of Covid seem to linger. Camper attendance has been low. Being able to find volunteers has become more difficult. And, operating costs have sky-rocketed. We have found ways to cut costs and try our best to operate as efficiently as possible, but we do hope to see participation in camp programs increase in coming years.

We are so grateful for the generous support that has come through during these last challenging years. Although we lost more than a year of revenue, Drift Creek’s doors continue to remain open, we hope to see you walk through them! (And bring along some friends while you’re at it!)

Donations of any size help cover expenses while we rebuild.

We appreciate your prayers.  Click below to help if you can. Cancelations have continued to affect attendance for both DCC programs and many rental groups. Support is appreciated during this time of uncertainty. Please consider a gift to DCC during this rebuilding period.
