Construction at Camp!

Many will remember what has been called "the old girls wash house" but could have more accurately been called the "old wash house in the girls area". Either way, it is no more!

This building project has been in the planning stages for a number of years and we are pleased to let you know that work has not only started but is moving along at quite a pace.

Many thanks to John Palmer for providing much of the demolition work, but also to Larry Thompson, Stacy Bodder and the great crew that came out for the work day on October 23, 2010.

I have included some pictures below, with little comment, except to say that a portion of the old building was temporarily left standing. You can see it in a number of the pictures that show the new structure.

The new foundations are going in and the

concrete walls will be poured next!

The poured concrete walls are up and ready

for preparation for roof trusses

 We were pleased to have so many skilled

carpenters and builders there to help!

 The first of the roof

trusses goes up!

The crane really helped get the roof on

in a fraction of the time!

While some worked on the roof, Stacy and his

crew worked on the new drains

Drains are in place and gravel added!

 Finally work begins on adding the metal roof!

Meanwhile, gravel is added and leveled in the new utility room

A good days work! Compare the size of the old wash house

with the new wash house!

We are grateful not just to those who helped with construction but all of the Lord's people who have prayed for this over the years and contributed financially to make it possible!

Prayer Requests

There are a number of families associated with camp that would appreciate your prayers.


Larry and Toby Thompson and Dave Larter arrived in Russia yesterday to share the gospel and to help with a camp ministry there. In an email from Larry today, he writes "We had the opportunity to teach tonight as well as sing at New Testament Church. What an incredible place. The meetings were very well received. I had to pinch myself in thinking that I was using a crazy instrument such as my saw in a building that Lenin had dedicated to communism and the squelching of Christianity in Russia. Yet, here we were leading worship, singing God's praises and speaking His Truth in that same building. Simply amazing!" Pray for Larry and Dave, as well as others traveling with them.


Several families associated with camp have recently lost loved ones. Ann Guard, the mother of Jerry Whitcomb passed away quite suddenly this past week. 


Jean Musclow passed away the week before. And her son Gordon predeceased her earlier this summer. We mourn the loss of these loved ones even as we take comfort in the knowledge that they are now with the Lord. Please remember these families in your prayers.

We were priviledged to have a number of excellent speakers at camp this past summer. Bill Yuille of MSC Canada and Donnie Patten of Emmaus Bible College shared the ministry at our Family Camp.

Bill Yuille ministered from the book of Colossians while Donnie Patten took up a study on Judas Iscariot. The Betrayed and the Betrayer! Click on the link below to go the Family Camp page and scroll to the bottom to either listen or download the messages.

Keith Keyser and his family joined us for the Family Camp weekend over Labor Day. Keith spoke on the subject of the Sufferings of Christ. There was much encouragement from the Word of God.

All of these camp messages were well received by the Lord's people and provided many opportunities for further discussion, thought and study. We are grateful to these brothers who commit to faithfully teaching the Word.

Changing Colors!

The fall colors in Western New York are breath-taking at this time of the year. It seems that each new day is more beautiful than the one before! But soon the leaves will be gone and camp will settle into its winter wear! Jim Lehmann was at camp about a week ago and took some of the pictures below. If you are thinking of a church retreat, this is a great time to come up to camp!
