New Youth Lodge Building - Serving the Youth of Tomorrow!

We are very excited to be building a new Youth Lodge at Lake Lucerne.  This year round facility will initially house 24 people in two wings with a common area for programing.  W hope to have the potential to expand to four wings in the future.  We are excited to build using GREEN building concepts.   Our goal for completion is June of 2012! Your DONATIONS are needed to complete this building! Please call or email Chip Hutler for additional information or click the DONATE on-line now button located below.

Volunteering - Assisting with maintenance or special projects at the camp is a great way for your group to support this ministry. We will work with you to create a task list appropriate for you. We enjoy groups of middle school age youth through "Prime Timers." For around seven hours of work per day, we'll provide meals - you only pay the lodging fee; contribute while having a meaningful and enjoyable retreat.

Adopt a Hay Bale or a horse - help feed the horses summer and winter- some of our ponies are now year round residents. They would love to visit your backyard from Oct - April - if you have a barn, safe fencing and hay available to house them.  Otherwise you can sponsor their winter care with your donation.

Dellwood Cabin Remodel-$4,500 in material cost is needed for complete remodeling of the Dellwood Robin cabin.  New doors and windows, insulation, new electrical service including lighting and ceiling fans, new paneling on ceiling and walls, as well as new bunks and mattresses.  Check out the already remodeled Goldfinch cabin and thank the Neshkoro UM congregation for making it happen.  They even sent volunteers to camp to help with carpentry and clean-up.  What could you or your group do to help create the future Lake Lucerne Camp?
