Share the Vision
Charis Camp has a long history of camp ministry in our community. The last 10 years have seen substantial growth in our summer camps as well as our off season rentals. In order to continue to effectively minister there are a number of upcoming projects that we need to complete. Our primary goal is to keep our summer camps accessible and affordable and in order to meet that objective we will need considerable volunteer support and donations. Please take this as your opportunity to share our vision with us and see how we plan to continue to minister for many years to come.

2020 Goals

Please note that all costs rely on the labour being done primarily by volunteers and current staff. Anyone with skills in construction, plumbing, electrical, painting, carpentry, landscaping, basically anything you can think of, are more than encouraged to contact krista@chariscamp.com to get involved! These projects cannot happen without your help!

Dining Hall Repairs

Our long term plan calls for the conversion of our gym into a new dining hall, but in the meantime the current building is in desperate need of updates and repairs. The building is uniquely situated close to the creek where we would not be able to build a new building so it is important to invest money in the existing building so that it can be converted for future uses.

Needs: New roof, flooring, washrooms, windows, drainage, furnaces/air conditioning.
Total Project Cost: ~$75,000+

 Cedar and Moss Coffee Shop

Coffee has become such an important part of connecting in our society.  We have decided to enhance the service to our groups, our churches and  the community by opening Cedar & Moss Coffee shop. We envision guests stopping in for a hot drink or house made dessert during a break in the schedule or after a hard hike or bike on the nearby trails. We have the opportunity to offer a beautiful and unique patio experience in the heart of the Pacific rainforest where guests can relax by a rushing creek. All proceeds from the cafe will help support our drive to keep camp affordable, accessible and safe. 

Total Project Cost: ~$8000

Mobile Home

Charis Camp has a mobile home on site that serves as accommodation for our year round staff. Being able to provide quality housing is part of what makes it affordable for Charis to have the staff that we need to run this camp. Our mobile home is in need of some major repairs in order to remain functional. A quick cost analysis has shown that it will be cheaper to repair and renovate than to replace the home with a newer one. 

Needs: New roof, demolish and replace leaking/rotten mud room, replace old kitchen cabinets, replace water damaged floor, replace water damaged bathroom tile, repaint, new skirting and siding, new electrical.

Total Project Cost: ~$12000

Lodge Roof

The massive roof on our lodge is now 20 years old and it is showing its age. The metal is in good shape but the screws are beginning to pop in some places and there is leaking in key places. Now is the time to replace all the screws in the roof and lengthen its lifespan. A few capable and experienced volunteers willing to work at heights with proper safety considerations is all we need!

Total Project Cost: Awaiting Quotes
