The Activity Center is the newest building to be added to our campus.  Completed in April 2007 this wonderful facility provides an additional indoor space for play when weather threatens to keep us all indoors.  Currently, this 70' X 125' building is rented as a separate facility in which you will find:

  • 2 Basketball courts, each 65’ x 48’
  • Volleyball courts (can be in place of either or both basketball courts)
  • 24’ x 24’ climbing wall (staff must be present to use and additional fee required)
  • Indoor Upper Deck with ping pong, pool, air hockey, carpet ball, foosball, etc.
  • Two locker rooms with restrooms/showers
  • Meeting room with small kitchenette
  • All sorts of balls and games for play--basket, volley, dodge, indoor soccer, pickle...

The climbing wall must be rented separately.  Contact Camp office for more information on pricing and rental of the Activity Center.

Still in the planning and fund-raising stages is the newest facility, Shepherd's Inn.  This small retreat center is designed for pastors, church leadership and other small groups.  The vision for this building was to provide a place for pastors and others to come on personal retreat.  The current building design will house up to 12 persons on 3 floors in 6 bedrooms with private baths.  Construction on this building may begin as early as Spring 2008.  If you would like to donate to this project or would like more information about Shepherd's Inn, please contact our administrator, Mary Lou Farmer.
