a trench to get utilities to The Upper RoomGetting utilities, like water and electricity, to the new site requires a ditch to be dug.

Camp is built on SOLID foundation!

 


We are beginning the process of building the new bath/shower house and the new meeting room, which will be called The Upper Room. The Upper Room will provide space for up to 120 persons to meet all at once, or it can be separated into three separate smaller rooms. The bathhouse will replace the dated showers that are now located in Moyer Lodge and free up space in the lodge to be re allocated for other purposes.

Crews arrived the first week of March to begin clearing away some trees where the two new buildings will be located. Plans are in the works to plant new trees in another location on camp in an effort to replace the ones that came down.

Once the sites are cleared and rough grade, they will begin the process of laying in the ground work; water, sewer and electric. And they will begin digging for the footers.

We are currently waiting for the building permits to clear for the loan to finalize.

Check back on Fridays and we'll keep you updated on our exciting progress.
