Strengthen the Sanctuary

“No Place Quite Like it Campaign”

 

Background | THE FIRST 60 YEARS!

In 1956, 10 layman took ahold of a dream, with the assistance of 12 realtors the search began. They started looking for a place to call camp. These faithful dreamers looked at farm fields and overgrown orchard and they saw what could be. The property was landlocked and at first, the purchase seemed destined to fail. The board and association gave up and voted to purchase a different property. The whispers of what could be in the shadow of Peter’s Mountain and along the banks of the Powell’s Creek were too strong to ignore. The nudging of the Holy Spirit wouldn’t let them walk away. They went back to negotiate and this time the details worked and Camp Hebron began.

The passion and excitement for ministry grew and spread, volunteers and young people came from the paved expanse of the inner city to find Christ’s love in the beauty of the woods. Loving volunteers helped campers hike the mountain, explore nature and connect with God. In the spring of 1958, the first of the cabins were built using rough-cut lumber. In the years to follow additional cabins, dining spaces, meeting spaces, and recreation areas were developed. We have been so blessed by these facilities and so many young people have experienced the love of Christ through camp and retreat experiences.

The craftsmanship and quality of facilities has been celebrated for 60 years. Today we appreciate them and we know that their future without financial investment is limited.

As we prepare to continue the Camp Hebron story for the next 60 years we are focused on facility improvements, program development and being good stewards of God’s acres. All of the information and quotes in these pages were done with the vision and mission of Camp Hebron in front and with prayerful consideration. Built into each project budget are contingency and endowment dollars so we can be responsible for the work we are doing and prepare to care for it in the future. The plans and design on the following pages were done with attention to cost-effective, quality construction. We are working to improve our facilities so they are more comfortable, more inviting, and more cost-effective operation-ally.

Thank you for being a part of this chapter in the Camp Hebron story by sharing our campaign, making a donation, and encouraging others to invest in THE NEXT 60 YEARS!
