Greetings! We are very excited to start the process of raising funds for the dining hall extension. We are going to need to raise $675,000. Yes, that is BIG amount. The goal is to raise 100% without borrowing.  Maybe you have heard the song Same God by Brandon Lake. Here are the words: 

O God, my God, I need You (I need You Lord)
O God, my God, I need You now
How I need You now, yeah
O Rock, O Rock of ages
I'm standing on Your faithfulness
On Your faithfulness

It's your faithfulness I'm standing on
Never changes, never changes

You heard Your children then
You hear Your children now
You are the same God

You answered prayers back then
And You will answer now
You are the same God

You were providing then
You are providing now
You are the same God (You are the same)

You moved in power then
God, move in power now
You are the same God

Let this song sink in. I believe the same God, that helped make this camp possible in 1946 is the same God that can provide resources to the camp today. I believe the same God who has been faithful in providing for our need to expand through buildings and activities for the last 78 years is the same God who will provide for this BIG challenge today of $675,000.  

Please be in prayer as to how the Lord may lead you to help. He is the same God that has led you to help in the past. I know he is the same God who will lead you to help today.

The Board met on March 21st  with a design & build company. They have helped us design what we think will be a great extension to our current dining hall space. This will give us seating capacity of more than 350 for both spaces.  As stated the cost will be $675,000. This amount will cover the following:

- Blueprints & renderings. 

- Site work - We have several trees that will need to be removed and dirt brought in to level the building site. 

-Building - Everything needed to build and complete the building. 

- Furnishings - tables, chairs, hot bar, drink station, warming ovens for serving. 

- Current dining hall facelift - the gym, new dining hall and current dining hall will all match on the outside

We currently have $30,000 raised.  Plus we have on hand another $5,000 for tables and chairs, we still need $7,500 to be able to buy all the tables and chairs for the new building.  

The plan is to begin site work in July of this year. That would require us to have $60,000 raised by July.  We will then work to raise the rest by September 2025 through donations and commitments. 

We are going to need everyone to come to the table to help make this possible. 

So, now is the time. Let the fundraising begin. Please JOIN US IN THIS ENDEAVOR. 

Please come and be a part of a great day of serving and donating. All donations raised on this day will be for the dining hall extension.

We have a few camps that are full and some that are getting close to full.
