Thank You for Supporting CSM’s Mission
to Form Young Christian Lives!
CSM is held in a trust governed by an independent Board of Trustees. While the Archdiocese of Detroit had generously donated the services of one its priests for decades, they are not responsible for CSM financially. This means that we are responsible to secure our own funding to advance the mission that has been passed down to us since our founding in 1933. To continue this essential work, we need your help. Are you feeling called to donate? Thank you for your prayerful consideration! |
Your gift today to CSM's Year-End Annual Appeal
will go even further in forming and transforming young lives.
An anonymous donor has agreed to match the contributions we receive up to $22,000!
Practically speaking, this DOUBLES your donation, turning your $50 gift into $100 for us, and your $250 donation into $500 for us!
On behalf of our campers and their families, please accept our heartfelt gratitude for your support of Camp Sancta Maria’s 2023 Benefit Dinner. We are honored to have a role in the process of forming young Christian lives–the lives of our children and grandchildren–and we are truly grateful you have chosen to partner with us in this most important mission.

2023 GOLF OUTING
On behalf of our campers and their families, please accept our heartfelt gratitude for your support of Camp Sancta Maria’s 2022 Golf Outing. We are honored to have a role in the process of forming young Christian lives–the lives of our children and grandchildren–and we are truly grateful you have chosen to partner with us in this most important mission.

2022 ANNUAL APPEAL
“O God, grant that whatever good things I have, I may share generously with those who have not, and whatever good things I do not have, I may request humbly from those who do.” -St. Thomas Aquinas
Your gift today to CSM's Year-End Annual Appeal
will go even further in forming and transforming young lives.
An anonymous donor has agreed to match the contributions we receive up to $22,000!
Practically speaking, this DOUBLES your donation, turning your $50 gift into $100 for us, and your $250 donation into $500 for us!
We look back on this 2022 year with grateful hearts and give thanks for many blessings: a return to normal after COVID restrictions including Mackinac Island Trips; our beautiful camp being protected from a devastating tornado in May; the counselors, staff, and campers who joined us for another fantastic summer session; and all of you our wonderful and generous supporters! Camp Sancta Maria is the beautiful “home-away-from-home” because of all of you who make it possible for the campers to grow spiritually, personally, and communally.
We do not always get to hear of the impact of our gifts but we were blessed to learn of the following story from a mother who received financial aid to help her children attend Camp. She wrote, “They had an amazing time as usual, and we are blessed that this was possible. Grateful doesn’t begin to describe it. Knowing they got to be “normal” kids doing “normal” things for a couple weeks helps me breathe easier. They have been through a lot and any moments they get to just be kids are gifts from God. They need as much prayer and encouragement as possible to help guide them along their way. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Camp Sancta Maria, and the people who work there, have restored my faith in humanity ten times over. Thank you!”
Only through your kind support is CSM able to provide children an opportunity to be “normal” kids doing “normal” things while growing in friendship and spending time with the Lord. Your response to this year’s Annual Appeal is especially important to provide young people a technology-free, safe, and faith-filled atmosphere packed with fun. Your gift provides new outdoor experiences which enable campers to create memories that will last a lifetime. As we approach the Christmas season would you help us with a donation—the most generous possible?
By contributing to our Annual Appeal, your generosity will bring about corral renovations and beach improvements, bridge the gap between the cost of a camper attending CSM and the cost of tuition, and assist children and grandchildren who otherwise couldn’t attend CSM. Thank you, on behalf of our campers and their families!

We are eternally grateful, as we can’t do this without you! Thank you and God bless you!
Your donations support CSM families, facilities, and programs. Because of your gifts, kids are able to come to Camp and learn new skills, make new friends, work as a team, encourage and support one another, and grow in their relationship with the Lord. Faith and fun all in one place! All of this is possible because of YOU! Thank you!
In addition, we strive to provide every child access to the CSM experience regardless of their ability to pay. CSM’s Scholarship Fund allows us to ensure, with your help, that no child is turned away.
Through monthly donations, Camp Champions provide CSM with a consistent and reliable source of funding that allows us a financial foundation to plan ahead. When you become a Camp Champion, you join a special group of people making a big impact with small gifts to help change children’s lives. Thank you!
