Completion of the New Improved Sewer System

Thank You to All Our Donors of Funds and Service!!

A new sewer system was installed during 2010. It was funded by the donations of many totaling $65,000.  The new sewer system, a sand filter system, was ordered by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources after they deemed our current two cell lagoon not large enough to allow for any construction of additional buildings.  They also said it actually wasn’t big enough for what we were already using it for at this time.  They allowed Camp Trinity to continue using it until we had the funds to install a new one, since it wasn’t causing any environmental hazards.

The installation of this new sewer system has opened the door for more facility improvements at Camp Trinity.  It will make a more efficient and environmentally friendly system.    The land and environment that God gave to this ministry is very valuable to the Camp and not to be over used or abused.    The Board of Directors of Camp Trinity has the goal of only making a project which will be supported by its users.  As of right now we have many groups that range between 40 and 90, some even reach around 105.  Our user’s needs are increasing and our facility needs improving to meet those needs, in turn enabling God’s Word to reach more individuals through Camp Trinity’s outdoor ministry.

Without the help of many volunteers and the donations of many the sewer project would not have been possible.  It is that help and the many donations that will help us reach our next goals.  In the Spring of 2010 at the Camp Trinity Board of Directors meeting they voted to move forward with additional cabins.  Our current Bunkhouse consists of eight rooms filled with bunk beds and a full bath.  It has met the needs of many of our groups, but some would prefer more private family style living and more sleeping capacity.

 The first step was made towards meeting that goal by the construction of the first of hopefully four family cabins.  The first one is called St. Matthew’s Family Cabin.  The other three will be Mark, Luke and John.  These cabins will allow the ministry of Camp Trinity to reach more people, by expanding our sleeping capacity along with providing housing which is more family friendly.  The dormitory style housing which the current Bunkhouse (Maier Hall) provides, serves the church and school groups great, but the family cabins will help us reach out to those who would like something a little more individualized.   It will also allow for families to retreat and refresh during the off season at their leisure.

Some funds, labor and supplies have already been donated, totaling about $10,000 the remaining estimated costs are $75,000.  More donations of labor and funds are necessary for Camp Trinity to continue providing its facility to many churches, schools and individuals. 

The Shepherd’s Shower

On Its Way to Camp Trinity

All building additions to Camp Trinity will greatly improve its ministry and outreach in this world, with so many non-Christian distractions.  The Board of Directors doesn’t want to go into a huge debt or greatly increase its usage fees.  Currently our fees do not cover the expenses generated by the users.  Thankfully God has opened the hearts of many to donate so that Camp Trinity has been able to continue its ministry thus far.

Recently Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church, Hermann, Missouri was one of those hearts opened.  They donated the funds for Camp Trinity to construct a brand new bath house.  It will be called The Shepherd’s Shower and will be added onto the Meeting Room, also know by some as the Rec Hall/Craft House or Chicken Shed. 

The main object of the founders of Camp Trinity and the current board of directors was to use this facility  to proclaim God’s saving grace.  These additions to the facility will help keep that ministry going, allowing young and old alike to enjoy what Camp Trinity has to offer.  As the world changes and grows, Camp Trinity needs to maintain, expand and improve to provide a quality facility.  Enabling it to continue proclaiming, right in the midst of God’s nature, that which never changes, His Word.

This new bath house will greatly improve Camp Trinity adding 7 new showers including one which is handicap accessible.  It will enlarge the Meeting Room while also providing restroom facilities and storage space for this second indoor meeting room.  

Donations such as this are the only way Camp Trinity will be able to improve and even continue to providing its ministry to people of all ages.

Please prayerfully consider donating towards the new cabins or the general fund.
