Permits have been issued

We have received the permits for the Kamp Kipa Lodge and staff house. We recently received about a foot of snow so we will have to wait until Spring to get started.

We have made great progress with the rented trac-hoe, our dozer and a back-hoe, plus the diligent, skillful, full time efforts of three men. The road has been improved from the saddle (forrest service road), all the way to a much expanded cul-de-sac at the lodge, plus water lines installed to the baths, 4 septic tanks into the ground, and gutted bath houses. One bath has most of its new roof, the other is weather tight.

The fundraising has started and we have a loan offer from a bank. The sun is shinning, the birds are singing; we have a good and gracious God.

Summer update

It has been some time since this blog was updated . . . but that doesn't mean that things haven't been happening! As we await the final approval on the plans, crews have been taking advantage of the beautiful weather to continue with the clean up at Kamp Kipa. The debris from the demolition of the cabins that were too decrepit to keep have been gathered and hauled away. The underbrush in the forests has been cleared and the grounds are looking very nice.
