Repairing the Original Cabins

Prior to the beginning of the last phase of development, some of the work on the site focused on up-grading the exterior of the original cabins (roofs, doors, windows and siding were replaced). No improvements were made to the interiors. The time has now come for the interior of these cabins to be brought up to code for both the safety and comfort of guests and staff.

The original cabins must be renovated so that they meet current government, industry, environmental, parental, and camper expectations. The work will include: insulating; up-grading the electrical; new wall board; flooring; and new beds. The total cost per cabin (including much of the *labour) will be $8500. There are 11 cabins which must be refurbished.

*Specific labour costs not part of the noted amount include man-power for demolition work, painting, and bunk bed construction.

Churches within the camp’s family are being encouraged to become actively involved by pledging an amount per year [such as $500, $1,000, $1,500, or $2,000] for a two (2) year period. There are many ways a church may want to go about raising the funds. Some may prefer to make it a special item within their church mission’s budget; others may prefer designating a special offering; still others may prefer the approach of a fund-raising project.

Some churches may want to take on the cost of an entire cabin, and others may prefer to join efforts with churches in their area and take on a cabin as a group project. Regardless of the approach, every gift counts towards completing the task.

The Board would like to ask you to consider how your church might become involved in helping us meet the goal of repairing the original cabins.
