Clean-up of the camp property has been moving slowly, but surely, since we dedicated our new church building, a little over a year ago. We made a big step this past week-end with the help of our good friend Kim Reed of Georgia. His Bobcat skills took down the old platform where Matthew used to sit, removed several piles of pallets and old debris, and spread several loads of dirt into low spots so the property will drain better. The area in front of the bunk house, that used to accommodate the Matthew, Mark, and Luke Quonset huts now looks ready to become nice green space. We can not thank him enough, as well as all the others who have come over the past year to see our property transformed from a make-shift relief center to a well kept campus. We are far from the goal, but progress looks good.
If you would like to come and help push things forward, the bunk house stands ready to host groups as large as 38 people. We still have plenty to do, left over materials to go through, the John Quonset hut to take down, the mobile units to rehab, sheds to move, bonfires to burn, landscaping to plant, and so much more. Lakeshore is still a great mission trip destination.

Thank you for the photos. I have waited awhile to see this. Thank you volunteers. Lakeshore is a very special place. I learned very much while there. I even learned carpentry skills which I have used after leaving there.
