Partners : Cabin Adoption

The cabin adoption program has been established as a way for individuals, churches, companies, or groups to assist in the ministry at LSBC.  We intend to encourage people to become actively involved in the ongoing work of LSBC, nurture the connection between our church family and the camp, maintain attractive facilities for the children, youth, and adults, and assist LSBC by assuming some of the financial costs of building maintenance.

Most of the cabins that were built before 1980 have gotten few upgrades since then.  Some of the newer ones have benefited from insulation, drywall, and siding. There are a number of planned improvements that will result in the extension of the life of the buildings, improve their appearance, and most importantly make them a nicer and more enjoyable place to stay!

Here is a list of the cabins and their adoptive needs.  If this is a way that your church can provide a hands-on involvement with the camp, we're love to hear from you!
