Winter may have settled in, but at camp, the excitement is just beginning!
With the support of generous donors—including the CL and Rachel Werner Foundation, Hawks Foundation, Nebraska Environmental Trust, Sid Dillon, Immanuel Vision Foundation, and many others—the Sustaining Sacred Spaces Campaign is bringing incredible transformations to our camps. Thanks to this ongoing generosity, we are moving closer to our goal of ensuring camp remains a place of faith, adventure, and lasting memories for generations to come.
So, what’s new for campers this summer?
At Carol Joy Holling Camp, campers at The Grove will be housed in brand-new yurts, designed for both comfort and adventure. These unique spaces will have bunk beds and air conditioning, offering the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern convenience.
Meanwhile, The Springs campers will enjoy renovated, insulated, and air-conditioned cabins, ensuring a cozy retreat after long days of exploration and fun. For those who love high-flying thrills, the redesigned Forest Zipline is ready to elevate the experience.
Elementary and intergenerational campers at Taste of Camp and KINnect Camp will get to soar across the ravine and then back across Crystal Springs Lake, making for an unforgettable adventure.
At Sullivan Hills Camp, the pond is being revitalized as it will once again be the heart of camp activities. A brand-new pond liner will allow the water to return, just in time for the start of summer. That means campers will be back to fishing, canoeing, and paddle boating once again!
The archery range is also getting a refresh, with a new location near the bouldering wall, making it easier than ever for campers to test their skills. We are also developing an off-site adventure for middle and high school students at Lake McConaughy. Also, a state-of-the-art Low-Ropes course will soon be added to Sullivan Hills Camp.
While we’ve made incredible progress, there’s still more work to be done to ensure camp continues to thrive. If you’d like to learn more about how you can be part of this transformational journey, visit NLOM.org/sustaining or contact Jacob at JSpilker@NLOM.org or 402-944-2544.
Camp’s future is bright—thank you for being part of it!
