(Occasional help for large building/infrastructure projects)
The Vision 2023 Capital Campaign (2021-2030) looks to long term needs of the Rocky Mountain ministry to ensure it is positioned well to continue to fulfill it’s mission for future generations. Currently, the Bern Dining Hall is receiving a significant renovation since it’s origins (and the beginnings of camp) back in 1952. Improvements to insulation, roof, walls, lighting, electrical, plumbing floor and window restoration are a few of the goals in having it serve the Rocky Mountain ministry for current and future generations.
- LED lighting – $1,600 will help distribute light more evenly from wall edge to wall edge
- Tech, sound system – $10,000 will buy the equipment to allow announcements to be amplified in individual gathering spaces (i.e. Zurich Dining Hall, Bern Dining Hall, outside Umbrella Patio) or ALL gathering spaces at the same time.
- Commercial doors – $20,000 will help purchase and install new doors. Imagine how many uses the doors in the dining hall receives each summer?
- Hardwood floor – $33,600 to replace the Maple wood floor.
