Walk to Emmaus Conference Room Communication
This communication is meant to inform the Emmaus Community about a new
challenge for our Ministry, and an appeal to prayerfully consider how you may be
able to assist.
The owners of the building across from Camp Lakeview known to us as the
“Conference Room” have decided they will no longer rent the building after our fall
walks. The building is not owned by Lakeview and has been reserved and rented
separately for each Walk. The Emmaus Board has been aware of this possibility for
some time, but the final decision came to us in mid June.
Since being made aware of this possibility, the Board has looked at several
alternatives. As we reviewed our options, the leadership of Lakeview Ministries
made us aware of a long term plan to build a large multi-use Rec Center at camp
adjacent to the current Dining Hall. This building isn’t anticipated to be completed
for use for at least two years. In the meantime, we need a space for our Conference
Room starting in the spring of 2025 and Lakeview has also suggested a possible
solution for the near future until the Rec Center is completed.
This proposal is to renovate the Shelter House at the bottom of the hill, across from
the horse barn, into a space that would be sufficient for our Conference Room. The
proposal includes constructing exterior walls to enclose the space, upgrading lighting
and electrical, adding a first story bathroom, and HVAC. We believe this will provide
a sufficient short term solution to this need and will provide the additional benefit of
allowing camp to be in control of all reservation needs rather than having to
coordinate and contract with two separate organizations.
The Board recommends staying at Camp Lakeview and pursuing this plan as our
first option. A list of needs for the space has been reviewed with Lakeview’s leaders,
and skilled Tradesmen from the Emmaus community have reviewed the space with
camp leadership and discussed recommendations. The camp has already started
construction design and estimating so we can understand the budget needed for the
project.
As this is a project that Lakeview Ministries hadn’t anticipated as part of their budget,
funding for the project has yet to be worked out. Lakeview is requesting that the
Emmaus community prayerfully consider how we may be able to assist in supporting
these improvements. More information will be shared shortly for ways we can help to
make this project a success in the short time before the spring Walks. This
information will be shared in the monthly Newsletter and shared at the monthly
Gatherings.
If you are willing to provide for the needs of this project, please reach out to a board
member. Construction assistance should be directed to Dave Goodner, Michelle
Weintraut or Mark Kelley by going to the website. www.columbusinemmaus.org and
click on the board member tab and choose the name or contact one directly if you
have his/her information.
We will keep you informed in the monthly newsletter and gatherings.
