Dear Friends of Camp Emmaus,
We, the Camp Board and the Camp Managers, Bill and Betty Hare, on behalf of all who have ever found
the beauty and spiritual renewal of Camp Emmaus, and maybe dipped your toe in the pool, are coming to
you now with an urgent request. Generous contributions are needed now for the completion of the renovation
of the pool.
Due to many State regulations and permits, the original plan to proceed 2 years ago was delayed...until
NOW. But, NOW the permits have been signed, all State regulations met, and the wheels are rollin'. The
contractor has set June 1 as the finish date. Bill will fill the pool with water and we'll be simmin' and
campin' this summer and for many years to come.
The pool was built in 1952. A lot has happened since then. Thousands of kids (and grown-ups, too) have
learned to swim, cooled off on a hot summer day, and probably made a friend or two around that pool. A LOT
has changed since 1952, including the Camp Emmaus pool. Wear and tear on the pool, the plumbing. the
mechanical equipment and the water filtration system has made it imperative for the life of the pool,
that repairs and renovations must be done.
The plan includes:
- installation of a new stainless steel pool liner
- a new, wider deck
- a new water filtration system
Your Camp Board and Camp Managers have been careful stewards of all the Camp natural resources and
monetary resources. Due to the generous donations and selfless volunteers through the years, your
Camp has served 4 generations. God's love and the quiet and beauty of nature have guided and inspired
many in ways we may never know.
THE FACTS
- Total cost of project: $250,000
- Amount paid out at this time: $92,000
- Goal for completion of project: $150,000
God has so richly blessed this area with a wonderful Camp, dedicated leaders and managers.
Pray for the continued Mission of Camp Emmaus.
The Camp Board and Managers
