BRINGING MORE KIDS TO CAMP<\/em><\/strong><\/h1>\r\n

Vision 75 Campaign<\/h4>\r\n

Over the past two summers SABC has experienced record attendance numbers and has had to turn hundreds of children away because of a lack of room.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

The end goal of Vision 75 is to create more spots for campers – up to 448 campers every summer.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

The Plan<\/h2>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

<\/i>
Phase 1 [Completed]<\/h3>\r\n

Staff Housing<\/strong> – As SABC grows, so the year round staff housing needs to grow.\u00a0 We have completed the construction of a 5-6 unit apartment that will be flexible for a variety of housing needs depending on the makeup of our staff team in any given year.\u00a0 It also includes 2 dorm units in the basement which houses our Leader in Training program participants (Teleois) each summer.\u00a0 This has freed up cabin space for 64 more campers each summer. \u00a0This project was completed February 20, 2017.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

<\/i>
Phase 2 [95% Complete]<\/h3>\r\n

Cabins<\/strong> – There has been overwhelming support from local area churches to build these cabins.\u00a0 In 2018, the Vauxhall MB, Vauxhall Bethel EFC, Okotoks EFC, and the Bow Island EFC and Burdett Community churches each completed a cabin.\u00a0 \u00a0Then, in the spring of 2019, the Vulcan and Champion area churches completed the last two cabins for a total of 6 cabins.\u00a0 Each cabin was constructed in the towns where the churches were located.\u00a0 It created a great deal of excitement for the camp.\u00a0 So thankful for the many volunteers and supporters who were involved in this.\u00a0 The cabins initially were used to accommodate summer support staff displaced from the old lodge that was demolished.\u00a0 After the completion of the new lodge addition, they will be available to welcome another 384 campers each summer.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Washhouse –\u00a0<\/strong> Starting in April 2019, we were able to build a washhouse to service the cabins.\u00a0 This project was managed by Dennis Plett on a volunteer basis.\u00a0 Many tradespeople and volunteers came forward to offer their help with this.\u00a0 This great effort by a massive amount of people helped complete the building to where it could be used for the summer months. The building is close to completion but has been put on hold while we are dealing with COVid 19.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

<\/i>
Phase 3<\/h3>\r\n

Lodge Addition<\/strong> – Capping off the campaign has been the construction of the new lodge addition. \u00a0This included the demolition of the original Heritage lodge.\u00a0 The completion date is projected for June of 2020. \u00a0Once completed, the cabins will be able to house new campers – up to 384 every summer (a total of 448 every summer with all 3 phases completed.)<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
