Everyone is invited to come out and enjoy a nice fall evening with free hot dogs and drinks as we share memories and reminisce about camp. Take a hayride or stroll around the property. See what's new and learn about what's planned for the future. Be sure to bring your old photos as well as your friends!

This will be a great opportunity for an impromptu camp reunion, but of course everyone is welcome even if it's their first time here. Come and go as you need. 

Reservations are not required, but signing up below will help us plan for how many might attend. See you soon at camp!

What a summer! More than 10,000 campers ate almost 114,000 meals and endured days as hot as 103 (August 2) and as cool as 79 (June 1). There were countless cannonballs into the pool, zip line trips, and special memories made. 

Most important, hundreds of children and teens made decisions to follow Christ, recommit their life, make their faith public in baptism, or join a local church. Many sensed a call into full-time ministry or missions. 

This is the fruit of camp ministry and the reason we do what we do!

Mt. Lebanon continues to grow, and our team needs to grow with it. Camp doesn't happen without an awesome staff! We're currently hiring. Click for details, contact us for more information, and please spread the word.

• With a growing staff – and an aging office – we are making some much needed repairs and improvements. Lodges and bunkhouses are also in need of renovation.
• To steward 520 acres of urban forest and manicured grounds, we need the right equipment. We are hoping to purchase two zero-turn lawnmowers, a tractor/loader, and two ATV carts for our physical operations team. 
• A 14,000-sf pavilion is needed to replace a very old, much smaller one in the middle of camp that is on its last legs. This would be a great legacy project to name in honor of someone special. Contact us for details.

Thank you for considering how you might be able to help!

Pray for these new staff members added since our last newsletter!

• Brian Colbath — Associate Director 
• Cameron Watts — Physical Operations
• Mark Burger — Physical Operations
• Hannah Martel — Staff and Programs
• Abbi Rice — Guest Services
• Bruce McMinn — Communications Director
• Adam Harris and family left to become executive director at Plains Baptist Assembly in Floydada. Congratulations and prayers for Adam!

Other prayer concerns:

• With rapid growth we still need others to join the ministry here. Beyond just a job, camp ministry is a calling, so pray God would send those who are called to serve. We need a director of new construction and team members in physical operations, clerical, programming, and housekeeping and food service.
• The camp is committing a portion of its resources to be involved in camping ministries around the world. We need wisdom and discernment as we prioritize evangelism and missions. 
• Please also pray for guidance as we consider long-term plans and seek to steward this special place well.

Mt. Lebanon is home to all kinds of wildlife. These photos from 2014 show a flock of turkeys wandering through the property before taking flight!
