Capital Campaign
Are you looking for a way to support Camp White Branch and our youth ministry? What better way than keeping kids clean while at camp and improving their experience while they seek God at our Church of God NW summer camps and outside groups coming to enjoy recreation, outdoors, and fellowship.
As part of our long term planning, we identified the need to replace our current bathhouse. We needed to first complete the multipurpose building and a few other deferred maintenance projects. Now we are getting ready to start raising funds for a new bathhouse. Once we kick off the campaign we are hoping to raise the funds within a year.
Bathhouse Benefits
- Purpose: Improve sanitation and convenience for campers on site
- Facilities: A new shower and expanded toilet access facility to handle higher occupancy and will be closer to the dorm. Provide ADA and elderly accessible facilities.
- Need: Existing facilities are not private and do not effectively support the number of campers at times. The building has dry rot, existing wood shake roofing, and old plumbing fixtures.
- Maintenance: The updates made will reduce maintenance, make it easier to clean, and with covered entries will enable better access when it snows.
