Cabin
Project
The
current age of the tents and the platforms that support the tents at Trinity
Pines are critical. We have had some major leaks, holes in the floors and
other problems. This caused the Camps Board and Camp Development Committee
to evaluate the investment between replacing the tents with more tents and
stretching our ability to build 10-12 summer-use-only cabins. The decision
was made to build the cabins and to go forward with a project that allow for
churches to invest in the building of the cabins. Each cabin, designed by
Randy Haverfield and Keith Jones, will cost $10,000. We plan to build the
cabins in the Treasure Valley and then move them to Trinity Pines to be
assembled during Work Week 2010.
The
cabins will hold 12 campers each. They are a simple frame structure with
windows, a small porch, etc. Please visit our website and see the artist’s
drawing of the proposed cabins. You can find them at www.tpines.org.
At
Share the Dream III (October 22, 2009), we had three churches step forward
to make pledges of $2500. Thanks to Bethel
Nazarene, College Church and Valley Shepherd.
That is what we are requesting – the support of four churches to
pay for each cabin.
We
know that other churches are considering their pledge of support. We have
also received $7500 from individuals who want to help build the cabins. We
are excited about this project and urge you to encourage your church to get
onboard and help us meet our need for summer housing for campers by
eliminating the aging tents and platforms.
If you are interested in helping with any of these projects as a church,
Sunday school class, Bible Study group, family or individual please contact
Rick Waitley at 888-0988.
