New Pool Videos

This past weekend there was a small gathering of former male staff members out at Camp. During this time, the new pool was an object of everyone's affection. The new pool is a pretty big deal for Camp. It is the first real big Camp construction project since the boys bathhouse was built over 10 years ago. While we were out there I took the opportunity to take some videos of the new pool and had a few different people talk about some of the things that the new pool will mean to the Campers, and how this new pool will affect Camp. It was a little windy on this day, so it may be hard to hear at times, but I think you will be able to get a pretty good look at the pool.


This first video has Camp Director Ty Ford showing off the new pool and talking about some of things that makes him excited about the new pool.




This next video has Matt Wickes showing off some of the features of the new pool. Matt will be spending his second summer as the Program Director this summer.


The final video is of David Ward talking about the pool and about Camp. David was on staff for many, many years, and served as the Camp Director for around 10 years in the 1990's and 2000's. This pool his being named after him in his honor.

David was the last person to swim in the old pool. We tried really hard to convince him that he needed to swim in the muddy, nasty water that is in the new pool right now so that he could claim that he was the first to swim in the new pool. Surprisingly, he declined.

As you can tell, everyone is very excited about this pool. It is going to be such a blessing for the campers who spend a week or two with at Camp. It is also going to be a place where many new lives are born, where campers are going to commit themselves to Christ and be baptized.

Fundraising has already begun and so far, we have raised $75,613! To have the new pool ready for the upcoming summer the Board of Directors have decided to obtain a loan for the remaining funds needed to begin construction in January. In order to stay on track with other plans for the camp it is important that CDR pay off this loan within two years. Accomplishing these plans cannot happen without support from those who know and love the mission of this camp. You can help make this happen! Please prayerfully consider making a donation, large or small, towards this project as you will be blessing the lives of thousands of young people. You may send in a one-time donations by check, credit card online, or set up an automatic withdrawal through your bank account or by a monthly credit card charge. All donations are tax-deductible.

Its an exciting time at Camp right now, and in a little over 2 months campers will coming through the gates to enjoy all Camp has to offer. Please pray as preparations are being made for this summer.
