Location: Camp Li-Lo-Li, Randolph NY

In the early part of 1951, the Lord put a burden on the heart of a young man named Mel Northrop to begin a camp work for young people in Western New York. During the next year, Mel Northrop along with Colin Caldwell and a number of young men from the Congress Chapel, met to pray each week that the Lord would use them to further His work.  While they prayed about the Lord’s will, they began the search to find a suitable property for camp, but without success. In August 1952, word came that there had been a cancellation of a campsite at Allegheny State Park. A contract was signed and a planning committee formed to host the first camp session of what was to ultimately become Camp Li-Lo-Li. The first camp was from July 25-August 8, 1953 and during that session fourteen young people were saved! 

After receiving a financial gift toward the purchase of a camp site, the next two years were spent searching for a suitable property. Many sites were considered and rejected for a variety of reasons until at last, the committee was led to Sluga Farm in the town of Red House, NY. This was it! The corporation voted and the decision was unanimous. You can read about the hand of the Lord in directing the purchase and legal acquisition of the property in the Camp history book, “A History of Camp Li-Lo-Li: What God hath Wrought” by Mel Northrop and Clyde Tyson.

In the 60 years that have followed the formation of the Camp Li-Lo-Li Corporation, thousands of young people have come under the sound of God’s Word and hundreds have responded to the gospel and have been saved after putting their faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. Camp Li-Lo-Li is still owned by ten assemblies from NY, PA, OH and southern Ontario.

Please join us on June 29^th, 2013 at Camp Li-Lo-Li, 8811 Sunfish Run Road, Randolph NY 14772 to give thanks to the Lord for His faithful direction and provision for our needs!
