Also this...

I realized I've never posted a completed photo of the dining hall. There are still some minor improvements to complete inside, as well as the construction of the climbing wall, but this is the final product (although there's more grass grown in now!)Thanks to all of you whose prayers and giving made this dream a reality.
What do you think?

Golf Outing

Coming up on October 5th, Ligonier Camp will again be holding its annual Golf Outing. Imagine the early morning fog lifting over the color-tipped hills of the Laurel Highlands, giving way to a clear, cloudless day where friends come together in support of the Ligonier Camp ministry by enjoying a day on the links. (At least, that's what we're praying for!) The Golf Outing is undoubtedly one of the greatest days of camaraderie and encouragement for the camp and its programs throughout the year.
Are you interested in participating? Ligonier is looking for green sponsors, tee sponsors, golfers, general sponsors, and even prize donations for this year's event. We offer special rates for those serving in ministry careers and even great deals for golfing foursomes!
If you're interest in golfing this year, please visit www.ligoniercamp.org or call the camp at 724-238-6428. We'd love to see you there!

Lodge renovations

Hello, all! Slowly but surely, our lodge is going through some serious renovations. We began to renovate our guest rooms several years ago, one at a time. Currently, the lodge dining room is being made over to provide more space for meetings & hanging out for our retreat groups. After that, we'll tackle the lounge area, the breakout rooms, and eventually, the camp offices. Isn't it awesome to know that the camp is growing and changing in so many ways? I know it's not easy to let go of all the cool things we remember as campers, but I love thinking about the way this camp will continue to reach kids in the years to come.
And right now, it's going to reach kids and retreat groups through a stinky, paint-smelling dining room! Well, I guess it's just we lucky few that get to experience that!

Photos

Just a few cool and unique photos that I picked from this summer that seem to capture camp.

Over already?

It's hard to believe that the nine weeks of Summer Camp here at LCCC are over and done. In fact, most of our 1,830 campers have returned to their schools and sports teams - hopefully still remembering great things about their time at camp. While there were definitely some tough things about this summer (illnesses, minor injuries, the hill, and RAIN!), we had an incredible experience up here on the mountain. Are you curious about some of those great things? Here's a Ligonier Camp classic Top Ten.
