Looking for a place to have a RETREAT for your church??

 (Adults, Youth, or Children) 
 
 
Clara Springs Camp has a new Retreat Building with
beds for 48, and two more New Dorms
 just completed that will sleep 24 each,
for a total of 96 New Beds.
 
 
The Buildings are ready and waiting for your Church Retreat!!!!
 
 
 
   
 The new Retreat Building, complete with a large Meeting/Worship Room in the middle, and
Dorm Rooms on each end that sleeps 24 in each Room .
 
 
 A beautiful Fireplace in the Center just waiting for you to plan your Winter Retreat at Clara Springs Camp & Retreat Center
 
   
 A Stage with Sound Sets on the opposite wall from the Fireplace, and seating for about 75.
 24 New Beds have been constructed for each room.
 
 AND THEN... as of February 2012 there are two more new smaller dorms under construction.
 
Each new Dorm will sleep 24 people.

Retreat sleeping capacity in the NEW buildings will soon be: 
144
 
  
 
 
AND now for your ADULTS

Fifteen (15) beautiful Cabins and a 24' X 40' Community Building
have been added to Clara Springs Camp over the past four years 
and are adding so much to the Adult Retreat Ministry of the Camp.

Let me pause and say "THANKS" to so many of you for your
financial gifts that are helping to make this ministry possible.
 
BUT
- - please know that there are other BIG NEEDS you
can help with as you continue to the bottom of this page....
 
 
Camp Leaders, Jack & Mandi Mills, and their two older daughters, checking out the Cabins and Community Building, located on the hill behind the lake.
   
Camp Staffers can be found working at the camp almost every day, keeping it clean and beautiful.   The cabins provide such an attractive location for a Spiritual Retreat for the ADULTS in your church. 
   
  Everyone who sees the Cabins are complimentary of how useful they are to the camp 
The Community Building is so nice, especially with the Front  and Rear Decks being added.
 Such a beautiful place to spend some time with God!  Why go to Colorado when God has provided such an attractive place at Clara Springs Baptist Camp?
 The deck is proving to be so multi-functional  Jack Mills, on the front deck, with the Lake in view.
   
The Community Building "Fellowship Area", complete with a pellet burning heater, is really a plus for
  Adult Winter Retreats.
And no Retreat Center is complete without a spacious Kitchen.  This Retreat Building also has two Restrooms.
Two (2) of the Cabins, located on the RV Park, are fully ADA accessible, and are nearer to the highway.  Two of the Cabins, located behind the lake are Family Cabins, complete with a Queen Bed and Bunk Beds.
A Cabin for the "Guest Speaker or Retreat Leader" All sofas will make into a "Full Size" bed (54 X 75). 
Each cabin has a beautiful interior.  All the essentials of a home away from home. 
Enjoy a view of God's creation from each Cabin  All cabin beds are Queen Size (60" X 80")
 
 
 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++ 
 
 
 
NOW - -  As we are into 2012,
there are other Urgent needs that
We Request You To Pray About Helping With

 
 
 
Additional Funding for 3 more NEW Smaller Dorms

They will all be located on some newly acquired property
on the East side of Highway 177.

The overall Master Plan calls for two (2) Retreat Style Buildings,
with sleeping capacity of 48 persons each
, and several smaller
 Dormitory Buildings with sleeping capacity of 24 persons each.  
 

Below are the pictures provided by the Architect
of how the Retreat Buildings and Dorms might look.

*******
As you saw at the top of the page, we are excited that
 construction is complete
on the first New Retreat Building with beds for 48
and on the First Two of the
 Smaller Dormitories with beds for
24 Campers & Adult Leaders each.



Drive out there and take a look!!
(Bubba Mills, Camp Manager, will be happy to give you a tour)
Call Bro. Mills at 318-796-3875

PLUS

 The need for a New and Larger
 
Dining Facility
 

 It, too, will be located across the Highway, nearer to
the Retreat Building(s), and New Dormitories, and the
Activities Building, which houses the new Worship Center.




 The new Dining Facility, along with the new dormitories
would allow almost all of the Children & Youth
activities
 
to be conducted on just one side of Highway 177.


As you can see, we are ready.   We believe God is ready,
so we are just waiting on Him to impress upon you to
share some of your financial blessings with the Camp
where it can be used to reach more and more people
of all ages with the "Love of Jesus Christ" in the
 relaxed setting of

 CLARA SPRINGS CAMP & RETREAT CENTER.
