Exciting Facility Improvements

Warm Beach Camp Ministries is excited to announce some exciting facility improvements across the ministry! We are immensely grateful for the generosity of compassionate donors, skilled volunteers who selflessly give their time and energy, and the contractors who make improvements possible. Check out a few upgrades that happened this year!

Horsemanship: This summer, fencing was replaced, and new loafing sheds were constructed to protect the horses from the sun and rain. The grandstands were re-roofed, and the hay barn roof was sealed to prevent leaks. Long-term plans include additional hay storage and permanent restrooms, complete with a laundry room. Horse blankets and wraps require a significant amount of laundry time!

Cedar Lodge at Warm Beach Camp: The lobby has new windows and siding, new lights, and ceiling fans, making it more inviting for guests to visit with one another. The new patio project in the front of Cedar Lodge is nearing completion. This new covered patio feature will create a comfortable space for guests to gather and fellowship together!

The Grove: Two more ADA-accessible Grove Cabins have been completed and furnished. The Grove now has an additional thirty-six beds, which will be a significant benefit to retreat groups. Once completed, The Grove will be a signature facility for those serving persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Staff Cottage Remodels: Most of the cottages at both camps are over forty years old and, unsurprisingly, need greater levels of investment to remain suitable places to live. Black Diamond Camp is finishing the second remodel, and Warm Beach Camp is finishing the third remodel of the year!

Warm Beach Camp Ministries is intentional about investing in the properties God has blessed us with to offer exceptional guest experiences. From the natural wear and tear of guests visiting year-round to the unforgiving environmental impacts of the Pacific Northwest, ongoing ministry support is needed to effectively share the love of Christ through transformational camping experiences.

A Summer of Surrender

Leading up to summer, Black Diamond Camp and Warm Beach Camp worked tirelessly to organize, train staff, and carry out the plans set forth earlier in the year. Like all carefully curated plans, pivots and adjustments were inevitably needed. Through that process and long camp days, a theme kept surfacing: surrender, trust, and be amazed. With such a simple yet profound spiritual truth, let's visit some of this summer’s happenings. Encountering God in a Personal Way Camp often serves as ...

Provision for the Humble

“God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth.” Matthew 5:5 NLT What comes to the humble is incredible. Reflection I have come to love the word humble. I love it for what it doesn’t mean: Proud, self-seeking, scheming, pushy, demanding, looking out for #1, status focused, and the insistence of being the brightest and best in the room. Honestly, it is exhausting to live and work with people where humility is not present. By contrast, ...
