COP Chapel & Building Fund

The Cathedral of the Pines Chapel & Building Fund supports the care and maintenance of the chapel and all camp buildings. The chapel is the heart of COP—a sacred space for worship, prayer, and reflection where many campers discover (or rediscover) their
faith. We have been singing “I will look upward and travel onward and not be afraid” for over 75 years in the same chapel. With your support it is our time to pay it forward and help rebuild the foundation of the Chapel so that it will stand and serve COP for generations to
come.

To restore one sacred space responsibly, we must preserve the whole. The chapel does not stand alone—it is part of a larger group of buildings that require ongoing care. Structural, mechanical, and accessibility needs must be addressed year after year, and this fund helps ensure that work can continue.

The COP Chapel & Building Fund preserves the fabric of COP—honoring the past while securing the future. Through this initiative, you invest not only in the physical renewal of buildings, but also in COP’s mission to share the love of God with all people. Gifts of all sizes are welcome, and each one helps build a legacy of faith that will bless campers and families for years to come. Our goal is for everyone who loves this place to support this initiative in some capacity. Gifts of all sizes are welcome.

The COP Chapel & Building Fund will make it possible to:

• Lift the Chapel & build a new cement foundation
• Preserve all camp buildings and grounds through ongoing maintenance and attention
• Provide a safe and accessible camp experience for people of all ages and abilities
• Extend the life of the infrastructure that enables COP’s mission

Every contribution—large or small—helps ensure that this sacred place continues to serve faithfully. Thank you!
