New Dining Hall Photos

Isn't it beautiful? You should see the inside! (And yes, we'll post indoor photos as soon as we can!)


That little "porch" is where Next Level campers will enter the new dining hall.

Twin Zip Line Construction

Sorry for the long time between updates! But there's something fun, at least: the first ever pictures of the new 1300 ft. twin zip lines! Actually, there aren't any "lines" up yet, but you can see the poles. After generous donations from staff and camper alumni, the zip line that had only been a dream is now becoming reality!
For those of you familiar with the camp, the zip lines will begin up near the pamper jump & main campfire area and stretch all the way across the open hillside until its termination on the hill just above the boy's kybo. It's going to be amazing!
Here are some photos from the first day of construction:

Grossly Delinquent

Sorry about the lack of updates lately! We're well into our recruiting and promotional season, and much of our staff has been on the road for weeks now. We've been to churches, schools, parent's meetings, homes, tea parties, and much more! If we haven't been to your church yet, email (summercamp@ligoniercamp.org) us to tell us when to come!
So here's the much-needed dining hall update. You may not even recognize it - it looks so much like a real building! Our construction crews have been working their tails off to get our dining hall ready for kids to eat in. After all, what's a classic LCCC-style sticky bun without a fabulous new dining hall in which to eat it? The answer is "delicious but not as satisfying". Just kidding! Some details about the dining hall:

1. It has a roof, walls and a floor! I know, that fact just blew you away.
2. The new dining hall has two floors. The "basement" is for storage, restrooms, and a loading dock & elevator. The second is for the dining rooms, kitchen, and porch.
3. If you're on the second floor of the dining hall, you can see out OVER the Lamont Lodge. The building is huge!
4. No one should ever have an excuse to be late for breakfast - the dining hall is less than 100 yards from the flag pole and our lodge.
5. In the new dining hall, every kid will be able to see our skits happen! (I think I just heard Unit one boys and girls give a huge cheer after years of blocked views).

I hope you enjoy the new pictures! Please be in prayer about this project and many others. Have a prayer request? The Ligonier staff meets daily to pray, and we would love to pray for your concerns. Leave a comment or email us at summercamp@ligoniercamp.org.

Yet another dining hall update...

Whoa! I realized that I haven't updated this blog with recent photos of the dining hall project. It looks great. I mean, I wouldn't necessarily want to eat in it yet, but the construction is happening so quickly, and the building is so much bigger than I thought. As you look at the pictures, remember that this is only the first floor (aka the basement that will hold storage space, our elevator, loading dock, and intern apartments). The second floor will look very different, and will be where campers eat their meals!
I hope you enjoy.

Everyone in the Ligonier office got excited about the above photo.

"Look, it's a door! It's a real, live door!"
(note: door is on backward. there's a purpose for that, they say. it'll be fixed for camp!)

Look how gigantic this facility is! It already is taller than the lodge, and it's only the first floor!

The indoor climbing tower is currently covered in plastic. We told Jim that was
because people were climbing in there, and he believed us, but only briefly!
(there aren't any holds!)

It's Not Too Late!
