Extreme Makeover -- Little Beaver Camp Edition

We are excited about the future of Little Beaver Camp & Retreat Center! As many of you are aware, we have winterized LBC. We are making the most of the next several months prior to our summer camp season for an extensive revitalization project. We are calling it, “Extreme Makeover Little Beaver Camp Edition." We have an amazing team of folks working overtime to update and remodel existing buildings and facilities at LBC as well as develop the next phase of our network's camping ministry. As we began this process of Extreme Makeover, we interviewed present and past camp patrons to see how we could best serve their current and future camping needs. From the data collected, we then developed a rather aggressive plan to launch Little Beaver into the next decade of growth and expansion. Currently we have 10 teen & children’s camps scheduled for this summer and have already started booking for the fall. That has doubled what was scheduled last summer. If you or your church would be interested in coming to help for a few days around the Little Beaver Campus please let us know, we would love to facilitate this. Monthly we will update you on what progress is being made. Here is the January Update:

HEADS UP -- We also wanted to drop a seed for your planning purposes. By September 15th we will have a fully functioning adult rental facility. The Lynda Lake Home will be an adult facility with a fully functional kitchen, two and a half bathrooms, a large meeting room with a fire place and 6 bedrooms with double beds as well as twins. With the large deck and private dock to the lake this will be a perfect rental to facilitate men’s, woman’s, staff, and board retreats. Start booking now!
