Why Koinonia bought an AED and is training staff for emergency?
Beginning today with the purchase of a brand new AED machine, we will be prepared in the case of emergency. Not only will we have an AED, but we will encourage EVERY staff member and volunteer to be trained in CPR/First Aid as well as Child Abuse and Neglect. Currently we have 3 Full-Time Staff Certified and we are working to add 2 more this month.
Why we are giving away a week of camp...
Service Projects at Camp
Big Service Project Ideas
Team Building Course
We are looking to build a 5-10 element low-ropes team building course in our old RV Loop. It would involve clearing the areas, creating paths, building the elements, and securing the safety for participants.
Playground
Our camp is seeking to build a small playground near our pool area featuring a slide, climbing element and small tree house. We don’t have any design ideas and would rely on your ideas.
Fire Pit Rings & Picnic Table Seating
We are in desperate need of new fire pit circles and dozens of picnic tables. The project involves designing, building and creating attractive, usable outdoor spaces. Our pits need to have a wood burning and propane option.
Sled & Tubbing Hill Path
Our current sledding hill is small and in the path of one of our driveways. We are hoping to carve out a new sledding option down the main hill at camp. It would include clearing trees and creating large mounds to turn.
Tool & Maintenance Shop
We are in need of a large building to be painted, cleared out, new stairs built, and upstairs completely rehabbed. This project is very challenging and will require a lot of work.
Camp Sign
We are looking to add to our entrance. We want to build a huge archway sign at the entrance of our camp at the top of the hill and build a similar smaller sign at the entrance of our camp.

Imagine the Possibilities
I picture all the different groups that come to Camp Koinonia utilizing these tables, spaces and meeting areas in their own unique way. Consider the options for outdoor meals. How many marker and crayon initials will appear over the years. Will someone learn so much about Jesus, they turn their lives over to God.
Help us make this possible. Take a Seat.

Take-a-Seat at Camp Koinonia
This spring, we want to create 40 new places to meet, eat, worship and gather. The effort has already begun. With your financial support, we will build 20-30 new picnic tables to be placed by the lodge, in front of cabins, and in our Tent/RV area. We will also create 3-5 new firepit rings with new chairs and benches. In addition, we will add seating in front of every cabin, retreat center or meeting room for individuals to rest & spend time in prayer.
