New Dorm Project Completed!
After 21 summers and countless memories in the original dormitory we decided it was time for an upgrade. The main dorm was originally a converted double wide mobile home that was on the property at least a decade before Camp His Way was founded 20 years ago so we replaced it with a larger two story dormitory!
The covered wagons are still in use and we removed the old dorm so we could build in the exact same footprint as the old dorm. The new dorm is divided into 4 main spacious sleeping areas each with their own large restroom areas with 20 each bunks for a main dorm capacity of 80 guests. We constructed it with a heavy steel building frame, log siding on the front, central air conditioning, ADA restrooms on the lower floor, a fire sprinkler system, and a larger 3/4 wrap around porch.
In an effort to keep camp costs at a minimum we always need financial support. Group leaders and parents know we offer summer camp and retreats at a rock bottom price so all upgrades to camp are dependent on donations and our volunteer staff. While it would have been ideal to fundraise over a few years we felt it essential to campers' safety to upgrade the main dorms before summer 2017.
