CMMBC desires to improve our facilities, while remaining debt-free. We will complete improvements as the Lord provides funds and volunteers.

    Goals for 2024 

Improving camper living spaces.

Replace the open air boys cabins with enclosed cabins that are closer to the rest of the camp (possibly were the original boys cabins were behind the dining hall). The old ones are quite a ways from the rest of the camp.

Finish enclosing the girls cabins with actual doors and solid walls with windows.

Improve both girls and boys bath houses.

Creating Social Spaces around the Splash Pad. 

The rendering above shows the ideas that we have for paving areas around the splash pad, while adding picnic tables with changing booths. We received a $15,000 grant in late 2021 to support purchasing the picnic tables and other aspects of this project

  1. Install lights - in process.

  2. Add picnic tables - picnic tables are onsite and ready for installation (Three are installed. Two need to be finished. Grass under them now. Would like to change that to concrete.)

  3. Add self supporting table umbrellas (One is up that covers two tables. Would like to have two more.)

Improving the Chapel. The Chapel addition and handicap ramp are complete.
See a VIDEO of the 6 year progress.  Our future goals for the Chapel are:

  1. Repair the steeple - $1750 estimate from local contractor in 2018

Improving the Dining Hall form and function. We have been working for several years to set the stage for upgrading the dining hall. When the Lord provides the workers and the funding, we are ready to:

  1. Figure out and solve an ongoing issue of moisture condensate (possibly caused by no insulation/lack of roof venting in uninsulated section of upstairs in direct contact with air conditioned section of upstairs).

  2. Create guest service area to include mini-refrigerator and microwave.

  3. Create laundry room that is accessible from the dining hall ~ nearly complete.

  4. Continue making progress on handicap access ~ nearly complete.
    The parking pad and retaining wall are completed thanks to a donation from American Concrete and the faithful workers from Jonesville First Baptist Church. The deck access to the front porch is finished, and a new door has been installed! Need one final section of concrete poured.

  5. Install commercial carpet squares in 2 downstairs bedrooms. (~260 sq. ft.)


    Accomplishments for 2023

    The Mission Team from Grand Valley State University accomplished so much when paired with 2 guys with trades skills and the hard work of our grounds manager and a 3 week volunteer carpenter/handyman. A maintenance shed was enclosed from one of the boys cabins and building and maintenance supplies were moved from the Chapel basement. The steps between the Chapel and the Rec Hall have been replaced with a roomier deck and benches. The handicap ramp to connect the Chapel and the Splash Pad is complete. The handicap access to the Dining Hall and steps to make access from the managers house to the dining hall are 95% complete. Storage was improved in the parsonage basement, painting was done and a new door with a window were installed. American Concrete and volunteers from Jonesville First Baptist installed concrete for the picnic table area at the Splash Pad. Redeemer Covenant Church supplied meat and cheese for our onsite meals. A new camp-wide water pump was installed and paid for by very generous donors. Thanks to all of you for your great work!!
