Our long term plan calls for the conversion of our gym into a new dining hall. In the meantime the current building, being our oldest building next to the tabernacle, needs some urgent upgrades. The building is uniquely situated close to the creek where we are no longer able to build so it is important to invest money so that it can be converted for future uses. 

Our camp board has decided not to assume any debt with this project, therefore we need the help our our generous donors to get the work done. Please read our plans below and consider investing in our aging infrastructure...which ultimately means investing in the changed lives that happen here!  If you are interested you can click 'Donate' the button below.

Total Project Cost: ~$70,000

Nearing Completion (Spring 2020)

A HUGE thank you to everyone who donated to make the interior upgrades to the Dining Hall!!! Your support is essential and sincerely appreciated!!!
 Update
April 2, 2020: 

We are very near completing the interior dining hall renovations! We have new paint on all the walls, new windows, new trim and of course a beautiful new floor. However, due to the pandemic we have laid off almost all of our staff and our spending has been cut so that we can pay the bills. All is not lost however; Brian and French volunteer Tom have still been working away with what supplies we already have. Some laid off staff have even come in when appropriate to volunteer their time to finish. We would love to take advantage of this shut down and get the last few things done but we have run out of supplies and without any income we need the help of donations to finish. If you would please consider giving money or materials, everything helps!

​Use the donate button at the bottom of this page or email brian@chariscamp.com if you would like to help out.


Windows
​
The Problem: In the oldest section of the building (which also happens to be the main dining area) the windows are single pane glass that must be removed and replaced with screens every summer. Plus, they are as old as the building!

The Solution: Through generous financial donations and supplier discounts we have replaced all of the old windows with brand new, custom sized, double pane low-e windows! What's more, they actually open!

​Flooring

The Problem: As the picture shows, we have patched and repaired the original floor as problems have arose. It's unsightly to say the least:) This upstairs dining hall floor is cracked and  has rotten spots in the kitchen, especially in the cooler.
​

The Solution: New sub floor as well as beautiful new waterproof vinyl plank flooring has been installed on top of old asbestos containing floor (since it's really expensive to remove  the old floor).

Currently Fundraising: (Summer/Fall 2020)

Roof 
​
The Problem: The roof has several leaks and substantial moss build up. Specifically, there is a l​eak around fireplace chimney, a large crack along peak above kitchen and gutter drains are no longer at low points (due to settling); water is leaking through the soffit and out sides.

The Solution: Remove the mossy roof and replace it completely.

Replacement cost: ~$42, 000

We will update on the progress here and on social media! Thank you for considering any size of donation! We hope to raise enough by the end of the year and will be hosting an amazing Fundraising Dinner with a Silent Auction November 1st, 2020. Stay tuned for details & ticket sales!
