Holy Cow Project

Camp Judson launched the Holy Cow Project nearly two decades ago to raise additional revenue for operating expenses. Project founders envisioned a sizeable herd that would provide the camp with a steady stream of income. The sale of calves from the herd has generated Holy Cownearly $500,000 since 1992.

The project's success rests on a three-way partnership among camp, donors and ranchers. Churches, families and individuals donate money toward the camp’s purchase of new cows, and ranchers feed and care for the animals.

It costs $1,000 to purchase one cow. Calves produced by these cows are sold every year, and all the proceeds benefit Camp Judson.

Today the herd is 100 strong. To celebrate this milestone, Camp Judson is hosting a Holy Cow Steak Fry and Banquet on Saturday, Aug. 28. Dr. Roy Medley, General Secretary of American Baptist Churches USA will join us for this joyous celebration. Details about this event as well as area lodging information are below:
