Support Old Kia Kima
The Old Kia Kima Preservation Association, Inc. (OKKPA) is a 501(c)3 Youth Outdoor and Camping Experience Organization (EIN 71-0783653) incorporated in Arkansas with summer camp facilities (Old Kia Kima Youth Camp) located in Cherokee Village, Arkansas on the South Fork of the Spring River.

The Old Kia Kima Youth Camp aims to give today's youth the same enriching experiences enjoyed by past generations. Located on the South Fork River, the camp has hosted thousands since 2002. OKKYC does not charge for facility use or offer programs, and its annual $40,000 operating costs are covered entirely by donations, grants, and member dues. Continued support is essential to sustain our mission.
A benefit of your donation is that it enables you to immediately support our camp operations and priority maintenance projects.

Ongoing Camp Operations
While all the restoration of camp facilities is complete there is a constant need for significant maintenance. Much of the camp restoration took place in the late 1990's and early 2000's. Those restorations are now in need of major maintenance. Once a facility is restored, the work must continue to keep facilities in the best possible condition.

Major Donor Program
The OKKEFF Major Donor Program has three contribution levels: Osage ($5,000), Cherokee ($10,000), and Chickasaw ($25,000), separate from annual dues or other donations. Donations can be paid over 48 months, and lower-level gifts apply toward higher tiers. For example, $5,000 counts toward Cherokee, and $10,000 toward Chickasaw. Major Donors are exempt from annual dues and receive lifetime OKKPA membership.
Memorial Flagpole
The Memorial Flagpole is yet another funding avenue for OKKPA. Any donation to Old Kia Kima, excluding dues, that meets or exceeds $1,000.00 entitles the donor to have a memorial or honorary brick engraved and placed at the flagpole. Major Donors may also have bricks engraved for the flagpole.
Donations can be directed to the General Fund for camp operations, the Endowment Fund or a specific project. Make checks payable to OKKPA and specify your donation's destination (General Fund, Endowment Fund, or a project) in the memo section. Be sure to enclose your contact information to receive a tax deduction letter. Tax letters are sent for all donations exceeding $250.00.
