The Lord has blessed Servant’s Heart Camp above measure since it was established in 2002 and more abundantly since the move to the new property in 2011. It goes without saying that God does not need fancy buildings to work in people’s hearts. Having the correctly designed buildings, however, can make a huge difference in our ability to meet the needs of campers and to create a place that is conducive to the work of the Spirit of God. The SHC board and director talked of a lodge for several years. After much prayer and deliberation, we decided to launch a $2.5 million campaign for the construction of a much-needed lodge. The project was formally introduced at our two banquets in April of 2021.
This lodge will house the kitchen, dining room, chapel, game room, camp store, and camp offices. For years we have used facilities that are easily impacted by bad weather. Summer rainstorms have made eating in the dining tent a wet experience and chapel services a hot and humid experience. The lodge will enable Servant’s Heart Camp to provide quality facilities and thereby less distractions for the campers.
Livestream
The livestream camera will be disabled until the spring. Until then, be sure to check the blog for updates!
The Need
The new lodge will have a chapel that will seat almost triple the number of people we can seat in the shed and will provide a space free of distractions so campers can focus on the preaching of God’s Word. It will also free up the equipment shed for its intended use.
The new lodge will allow us to seat about twice the number of campers that we can seat in our current dining tent. It will provide a suitable place to eat during heavy rains and in the winter months.
An updated kitchen in the lodge will be more comfortable and convenient for our staff and will allow them to cook for more campers each week.
A game room in the lodge will protect our games from the elements and also provide a fun place to fellowship and play games yearround.
Lodge Renderings
Although I have not yet met him in person, a dear friend of the camp asked if I would send him our blueprints. From those blueprints, he developed some renderings that can help us understand the appearance of the lodge. Thank you, Steve!
