| Item/Description | Cost | Picture | I would like more info |
| Dining room Furnace: This room is the most used room in the facility and this furnance has worked very hard over the years. However, it is 60% inefficient and is so loud when it comes on it makes it difficult for groups to meet in the dining room.. It must be replaced this year. | $4,700 This project was finished 3/3/08 using donations from 2007. |  |

| Mattresses: We have already replaced 4 cabins with adult friendly (thicker) ones. Thicker mattresses mean that a wider variety of people can experience Holy Ground. Only 2 cabins left. | $120 Each x32 |  |
|
| Electric Fireplace: We have just remodled our old craft room in to a new meeting room called "The Chalice Room." An electric fireplace would add warmth to the room and a focus for small group area. This is needed to complete the room this year. | This project was adopted Feb 20th... Thank You |
 |
|
| Pay down on loan: Though significantly reduced over the years, any reduction of our debt continues to free up cash flow for daily operations. We are getting so close to eliminating our debt on the Lodge Room Addition of 2000. The more we reduce the debt better our over all cash flow will be. | $184,000 left |  |

| Patio Outside lower entrance: One of the final touches to make sure that water gets away from our building includes building a retaining wall, brick patio and piping the topside water underneath the patio to the drains run to the lower field behind the Main Lodge. With the right skills this project could be a great congregational mission project. | $2000 |  |

| Directors Suite Deck: This deck would sit outside the new door to the new directors suite area. This would create a wonderful small group area and enhance the outside view of the main lodge. The price assumes that this project would be adopted by a congregational mission group. | $800 |  |

| Kitchen Air Conditioner: Over the years this air conditioner was adapted, change and manipulated to fit into the configeration it is now. It too is inefficient and the blower now only blows across 1/3 of the coils. (Which they tell me is not good) | $5,500 |  |

| 200 Chairs for Chalice room: Needed to host groups in this new room. Need these to keep up with increased usage. What a great problem to have. | Adopted by Packwood Christian Church on April 23rd Thank you! |

| New Front Sign: This is the first thing that welcomes and directs people into the facility. The present sign has served us well but its time to replace it. Our front view is critical and needs to be replaced as soon as possible. This project will be done in honor and in memory of Adam Barnett who created our "Log-Directional" signs. The camp was one of the places he found some direction for his life! | Over $1500 has already come in for this project. $3000 |

| Zero Turn Lawn Mower: Lots of grass to mow and it seems that our used and well worn mowers continue to break down. We have been dreaming for this for a long time... | $5000-$10,000 |  |
I might be interested in supporting this project |
| Vaccum: We need one of these for each cabin. Though any vaccum will do we have discovered that the Dyson's work better for us and last longer. Just an everyday need sure comes in handy to keep things clean. | $85 -$300 |  |
