The board of directors would like to thank everyone for their support of NWOCYC as we have undertaken the largest fundraising effort in the camp’s history. 

In October of 2021 we began a design-and-build agreement with an estimated cost of $909,955. After receiving the bid, the current economic factors outside of our design partner’s control have driven the estimated cost to $2,555,000. 

As a result, it is cost-prohibitive to proceed with construction this year. We will not be able to proceed unless the costs return to a reasonable range. 

In interest of due diligence, we are going to engage professionals to research the feasibility of restoring the current dining hall and converting it into a year-round facility, while we continue to raise funds and monitor the economic situation, as new construction is still an option. 

It remains the mission and intent of the board to trust God’s provision for a year-round dining hall facility that will serve the camp and the Lord’s Kingdom for generations to come.
