Vision75 Capital Campaign – making room for more kids!

get-r-done-capital-campaign-2

We’ve launched our capital campaign!  Once completed it will make space for another 448 campers every summer.  SABC is operating at capacity and has experienced record attendance numbers over the past 2 years.  On top of that there are hundreds being turned away because of a lack of space.  The Vision75 campaign will address the many aspects required to add that number of campers.  Check out our video explaining what’s going on and why here.

Phase 1 deals with staff housing.  We are presently at the drywall stage.  Hope to have it completed in February.

This building has 5 different units with one having the ability to split into 2. The basement will house our Teleois (Leader in Training) Program.

Phase 2 deals with camper accommodations and the camp activity areas of a playing field and campfire amphitheater.  New cabins will have to be constructed on the existing playing field so another one is required.  The campfire space is inadequate even now.  A new amphitheater will accommodate the added number of campers.

Phase 3 will involve tearing down the old lodge building and constructing another in it’s place.  This building primarily houses summer support staff but is also outfitted with activity rooms, a nursing station, summer staff offices and storage areas.

Please have a look at the Vision75 page on our website.  There is a significant amount of money to raise but already many individuals have committed to the project and we are well on our way to having Phase 1 fully funded.

Please consider your own involvement in this.  Donations can be made online here.  More updates to follow!
