Raise the roof!!
Spirit Lodge got a major refresh this past week! Thanks to an incredibly generous donation from our beloved Horton Center community we were able to lay a brand new roof on our dining hall before the start of our 2026 season. Say goodbye to leaks and drips on those rainy days, we've got you COVERED this summer!
A huge thanks to Reel Reliable Roofing for their great work! It turned out beautifully!

Middlers on the Mountain (June 28-July 4)
Are you ready for a week of thrilling mountaintop adventures with friends old and new? Look no further! Let’s disconnect from our devices and spend a week connecting with ourselves, our camp community, and our faith-whatever that looks like for you. Together we’ll build a community where everyone’s authentic self can shine, and where you can choose activities that can thrill (rock climbing, caving, swimming, hiking) and chill (tie dye, pottery, time to read, board games)!
