Fundraising Projects:

➤ The New Life Center Roof & Building Renovations

➤ New pool with additions

The New Life Center houses the auditorium, the gym, and a lot of classrooms. Constructed in 1924 as the Harris Community School, the building still has good bones, but needs a new roof, a fresh coat of paint and updating throughout.

The Swimming pool was built in 1970 and after 50 years of service, it is ready to be replaced.

Please bring or mail your donations today to:

Please take this fundraising effort to your church, budget committee or finance committee and do all you can to help us reach this goal.

“its a new day at camp harris” is a fundraising effort to aid in the improvement of our facilities, specifically renovation of the old school, now called “the new life center,” and the replacement of the swimming pool. we estimate the cost of each project at approximately $300,000 each, $600,000 total. the new life center needs significant roof repair, including reengineering the roof to properly shed water and eliminate pooling on the roof which is causing leaks. the entire roof will be repaired, resurfaced, and recovered. the gym floor will be repaired and refinished. many classrooms will be updated and the interior of the building will receive a fresh coat of paint. this will return the old school to an attractive and welcoming centerpiece of camp harris.

the swimming pool needs replacing. it is a battle every year to prepare the pool for camp, fighting water leaks and a struggling filtration system. The walkways around the pool are substandard and the area is unattractive. Staying cool during summer camp is a top priority and a dip in the pool is an important part of that. We plan to replace the pool completely, with water slides, a kiddie pool and a pool house, too. it will be an exciting part of camp for the children.

our $600,000 goal for the new life center and the swimming pool is phase 1 of more projects to come. we want to continue to improve camp harris to become a leading camp destination. our next goal is the replacement of the dining hall, followed by the renovation of the hotel rooms. we also plan to add more attraction along the way, like a shooting range, archery range, ropes course, rappelling, giant treehouses, and more. each year at camp harris, we host 2,000-3,000 people, including quilters, scrapbookers, church retreats, disaster relief workers, and children’s and youth camps. Dozens of people make lifetime decisions for jesus each year at camp harris. we want to keep Camp Harris as a vital part of our church’s ministry and we want to provide the best place possible for people to get away from the world and, as our motto says, “be still and know that i am god” (Psalm 46:10). God can do amazing things when we work together. Please contact us with any questions.
