IT’S CONSTRUCTION SEASON!

Well it’s that time of year… Not road construction with stop and go traffic.  We’re talking about building some new cabins!  This is super exciting for us because the reason we need to build more cabins is because of record numbers of summer campers and family campers coming to camp.  This will allow us to take up to 48 more people, 40 in summer camp that will hear the Gospel!  So get excited about that, they aren’t just buildings. 

The first two that we are building are between Ponderosa and the Low Ropes Course.  They will have a nice little view, and a good sized covered sitting area.  Our facilities crew is braving the cold to get started on these and they really are good at putting them up fast.  Don’t worry, they will be constructed very well, insulated and eventually heated for year round use.  This one is “Jack Pine, next will be “White Pine”.

If you are reading this and thinking… well I have some pretty serious building skills and a whole lot of extra time, or know someone in that boat, and want to come up and give us a hand please contact us at 218.575.2240.  Larry is the guy to connect with.  We are always looking for volunteers.  For projects like this it is nice to have some solid building skills but there are always other projects that need to be done, even deep cleaning. 

So looking forward to summer, we have 1138 summer campers signed up, that’s 300 some ahead of last year at this time, and 1254 family campers, we had 1400 total last year.  So what a blessing, and you can see why we need those cabins!  Also, it might seem early but with this kind of growth, you will want to get signed up sooner than later to get your desired camp. 

With all of that, we do need a couple things… We will need more summer staff so again if you know someone that would fit the mold, send them our way.  Just need a good attitude and a love for the Lord.  Also please bathe this place in prayer!  We are blessed to have so many prayer warriors, many that we know of and many that we don’t, so thank you!  We will keep you updated, good things!
