Gather Update: Phase 1

With the support of the Board of Directors, we have started Phase 1 of the new dining hall building at Wapo. Click here to learn more about how we came to this decision to begin, what is included in Phase 1, and why now is a good time to start.

In the last few weeks, the old chapel was taken down. We were able to save the fireplace mantel and salvaged almost all of the wood and trim to use in other places around camp. The excavation has begun, footings have been poured, and foundation walls are starting to appear. If the weather cooperates, we hope to have the building covered by mid-December.

A New Look for Our Organization and Sites

Way back at the beginning of 2020, we started on a fantastic journey with a marketing company to create a refreshed brand for the camps of Lake Wapogasset Lutheran Bible Camp. Here is a peek at the process and the scripture that became the cornerstone of the brand: Ephesians 3:17-19.
