INFORMATION ON SALE OF PRESBYTERIAN CAMPS:
The Presbyterian Camps was established in 1899 by the Forward Movement Group. As such, our Presbyterian Camps is one of the oldest camping ministries in the United States. The Presbyterian Camps has been an active part of the Chicago Presbytery since the camp was purchased from the Forward Movement Camp in 1922. As you may know, the Presbytery of Chicago is preparing to sell the Presbyterian Camps in Saugatuck Michigan.
Lakeshore Christian Camping (LCC) was created to purchase the Presbyterian Camps from the Chicago Presbytery in order to preserve and develop the ministry of the Presbyterian Camps (rather than allowing this precious lakefront property to be sold for development). The LCC has developed a comprehensive proposal to purchase the Presbyterian Camps and has strongly advocated the preservation of this invaluable ministry. You can review the mission statement and strategic documents of the LCC at our web site: www.prescampsforever.org
Please take a moment to look at this website and get involved if you are willing and able. Thank you.
