# Chuckwagon Auction
#### Upcoming Events at IdRaHaJe
### Online Auction: May 5-10, 2025
#### Auction opens Monday, May 5th at 2pm & ends Saturday, May 10th at 2pm.  *VIEWING only for registered participants prior to May 5th.*
**This year, we will not be hosting an in-person Chuckwagon event.  We hope to see you on the auction!**
At IdRaHaJe, we believe every kid should have the chance to go to camp. That’s why for 33 years we have hosted our annual Chuckwagon Fundraiser to benefit the Campership Fund. Last year, thanks to the generosity of Chuckwagon supporters, hundreds of deserving children enjoyed camp who would not have otherwise. This year, with your support, we hope to raise $30,000 to send even more children to camp!
#### **This year’s event will be hosted exclusively online.**
We couldn’t be more excited for you to participate in our online auction and bid extravagantly! This auction is the major source of donations for our Campership Fund.  All proceeds will go directly towards helping kids attend camp. The online auction will be hosted again on the easily accessible platform of Handbid. You can download the Handbid App ****. After downloading you can easily browse items, bid and donate directly towards the Campership Fund!
### What is the Campership Fund?
##### Our **Campership Fund** provides families with financial assistance to send their kids to camp who otherwise might not be able to attend. We believe that every kid should have the opportunity to come to camp and clearly hear the Gospel. This fund has made a way for hundreds of kids to do just that! Will you help send a child to IdRaHaJe? Join us in spreading the Gospel to kids in need.

![We are pleased to announce that our theme for Summer Camp 2023 is "Strangers in the World," based on 1 Peter 2:9-11:
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.”
This summer, we will study the message of 1 Peter and discover what the apostle Peter had to say to first-century Christians when the whole world seemed to be against them. We will explore what it means to apply this same message to our lives in our everchanging, modern-day culture. We will understand that, just as 1 Peter 2:9-11 tells us, we are God’s chosen people who have now become “Strangers in the World.” We will learn what it means for them to be called out of the world while being commissioned to set an example in the world. We will be challenged to follow the example of Jesus no matter the cost, because we rest assured that this world is not our home.

### Give a Gift with an Eternal Impact
**Since 1948, IdRaHaJe has operated as a non-profit 501 (c)(3), non-denominational Christian camping ministry that has been able to remain debt free!  This has been possible through the faithful giving of partners like you!  We could not accomplish this without the ongoing financial support of people who love and believe in pointing campers to Christ.** **Please join us as a partner to expand His Kingdom.  Take a moment to see how you could support IdRaHaJe.**
#### Wastewater Treatment
**We are currently on a timeline to put in sewer main piping and installing a wastewater treatment facility that will propel camp forward.  To meet regulations, we are wisely moving forward on this process now so that we can have the groundwork and structure fully completed in summer of 2025.**
